About this fabric
From the Foss Linen II collection by Colefax and Fowler, Foss Old Blue is woven in 100% linen and has no visible repeat, making the surface read as clean and uncomplicated. The cloth is 138cm wide and carries care code Q 8 + T 3, with fire code √BM noted. Visually, this colourway is a restrained dusty blue with a gentle grey cast, so it feels calmer and less saturated than a brighter denim or sky blue. The fine linen weave adds a subtle natural texture that softens the shade and keeps it looking relaxed rather than crisp.
How to use it
Use Foss Old Blue for simple curtains, blind panels or upholstered cushions where its cool, washed-blue tone can bring a quiet freshness. It pairs especially well with chalk white, pale oak and other muted coastal neutrals.
A calm blue linen that works beautifully on simple upholstery or softly tailored curtains.

Pairs well with
Foss Old Blue 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.
