About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted khaki olive, with a dry, breathable look that feels grounded rather than bright. The weave is fine and even, with the subtle cross-hatched texture visible across the cloth giving it a relaxed, natural finish. Made from 100% linen and measuring approximately 139cm wide, it has a versatile handle suited to both curtains and upholstery use. The zero-repeat design keeps the surface calm and uninterrupted, while the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code add practical specification detail for project planning.

How to use it

Use Flynn Myrtle to bring an understated, organic note to pale timber, stone and plaster interiors. Its muted olive tone pairs especially well with warm neutrals, leather and brass for a collected, understated scheme.

A calm, earthy linen that works beautifully across upholstery and soft drapery.

Pairs well with

Flynn Myrtle is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
