Flynn Umber is a quiet, earthy linen with a softly textured plain weave and a warm brown tone that reads natural rather than heavily dyed. The close weave gives the swatch a refined, tailored look.

About this fabric

Part of the Flynn Linen collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is woven in 100% linen and measures approximately 139cm wide. The repeat is listed as V 0cm / H 0cm approx, confirming its plain, non-directional appearance. In this colourway, the surface sits in a mellow umber brown with subtle lighter flecks that soften the depth of the ground and keep the cloth from feeling flat. The weave has a dry, lightly slubbed linen character that suits both upholstery and drapery where a natural finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Flynn Umber to bring warmth to neutral schemes, especially with oak, leather and muted stone. It would sit well on upholstered seating, roman blinds or full-length curtains where the brown tone can add depth without going dark.

A warm umber linen that works neatly across upholstery and relaxed drapery.

Pairs well with

Flynn Umber 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.
