Foss Limestone

Foss Linen II FabricF4218-26

Foss Limestone is a quietly coloured linen with a soft limestone cast and a finely woven, natural surface. The swatch reads as a warm cream rather than a stark white, with just enough texture to keep the finish relaxed.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Foss Limestone has the dry, lightly slubbed handle you expect from a true linen cloth, with a plain appearance and no visible repeat. The fabric is approx. 138cm wide, making it practical for larger curtain drops and tailored soft furnishings. In this colourway, the tone sits in a pale limestone cream that feels gentle and restrained, with a slightly warm undertone that softens the light. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Foss Limestone where you want the room to feel calm, airy and polished, especially against timber, stone or painted finishes. Its muted cream tone is particularly effective for curtains, Roman blinds or relaxed upholstered pieces in low-contrast schemes.

A quiet, warm neutral that works beautifully when you want texture without visual noise.

Pairs well with

Foss Limestone 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.
