Flynn Straw

Flynn Linen FabricF4890-05

Flynn Straw is a quietly warm linen with a soft straw-cream appearance and a natural, lightly textured surface. The plain weave reads calm and understated, with just enough movement in the yarn to keep the colourway from feeling flat.

About this fabric

This colourway has a gentle beige-cream cast, lifted by the dry, natural character you expect from 100% linen. With a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx., the fabric presents as a clean plain rather than a patterned textile, so the focus stays on its subtle woven texture and mellow tone. The 139cm approx. width makes it practical for a range of interior applications, while the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code provide useful specification detail for specification and installation. Flynn Straw feels softly sunlit rather than yellow, giving it an easy, heritage-neutral look.

How to use it

Use Flynn Straw where you want warmth without strong colour: it is especially effective on curtains, loose covers and upholstered pieces that need a calm, natural finish. Its pale straw tone sits neatly alongside oak, cane, chalk whites and muted greens.

A warm, easy neutral that works beautifully across seating and soft furnishings.

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.
