About this fabric

This Foss Linen II colourway is made in 100% linen and measures approximately 138cm wide, with no repeat, making it a straightforward choice for tailoring and joinery. The swatch shows a very even, small-scale plain weave that gives the surface a crisp but relaxed look rather than a glossy finish. Foss Light Blue sits in a pale, slightly greyed blue range, so it feels fresh without becoming icy or bright. The linen texture is visible across the whole cloth, adding a gentle slubbed softness that helps the colour feel natural and understated.

How to use it

Use this light blue for café curtains, Roman blinds or pared-back cushions where the cool tone can keep a room feeling bright and breathable. It also works well with chalk white, pale oak and brushed nickel for a clean, coastal-leaning scheme.

A fresh, airy blue linen that suits loose upholstery or elegant curtains.

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.
