Foss Slaked Lime

Foss Linen II FabricF4218-53

Foss Slaked Lime reads as a very light, softly chalked ivory with a subtle linen grain visible across the surface. Its colour sits just warm enough to feel inviting, while staying clean and understated.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 138cm wide, this fabric has a crisp, natural handle that suits both fitted upholstery and elegant drapery. The swatch shows a nearly solid slaked ivory tone with a delicate cool-warm balance, softened rather than brightened, so the surface feels calm and refined. With a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm approx, it presents as a plain cloth rather than a patterned design, making the texture and colour the main features. The fine weave catches light gently, giving the fabric a quiet chalky depth instead of a flat white finish. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use it to lighten a room without the hardness of pure white: it pairs well with pale timber, stone, and muted grey upholstery. In curtains, the soft ivory tone will sit beautifully against filtered daylight and bring a gentle linen warmth to the window.

A quiet ivory linen that works neatly in tailored curtains or clean-lined upholstery.

Pairs well with

Foss Slaked Lime 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.
