About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Foss Myrtle has no visible repeat, which keeps the cloth calm and versatile. The surface shows the natural slub and fine cross-weave associated with linen, giving the colour a subtly mottled depth rather than a flat finish. In this swatch, the shade lands as a muted forest-moss olive with a slightly earthy undertone, making it feel more collected than bright. The care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

This deep olive works well with oak, aged brass and other warm neutrals, where its muted green note can add depth without dominating. It would also suit smart curtains or simple upholstery in rooms that need a darker, more grounded accent.

A refined mossy olive linen that suits tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Foss 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.
