About this fabric

Part of the Foss Linen II collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is woven in 100% linen and comes with a width of approximately 138cm and no visible repeat, making it straightforward to plan across a scheme. The swatch shows a plain weave with a crisp but relaxed linen texture, and the colour reads as a muted quince-apricot with a slightly earthy undertone rather than a bright pink. Its soft matte finish keeps the shade calm and usable, while the fine grid of the weave adds subtle interest up close. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Foss Quince where you want warmth without heaviness: it would bring a gentle glow to roman blinds, cushions, or a tailored occasional chair. Its softened terracotta-apricot note pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak, and muted green accents.

A warm, easy linen shade that softens clean-lined upholstery or drapery with a gentle sunlit glow.

Pairs well with

Foss Quince 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.
