About this fabric
Woven in 100% linen, Minack Check Old Blue has a classic check with an approximate 3cm vertical and horizontal repeat and a width of about 152cm. In the image, the blue appears muted and weathered rather than bright, sitting against a creamy ground for a cool, low-key contrast. The fine weave gives the cloth a dry, natural handle that feels relaxed rather than formal. Its balanced scale and linen body make it suitable for both upholstery and drapery where a restrained country check is wanted. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √CM are supplied for this fabric.
How to use it
Use this old blue check on a loose upholstered armchair, bench cushion or Roman blind to bring a quietly traditional note. It works especially well with chalky whites, pale timber and washed indigo accents.
A fresh, understated check that suits quiet country schemes and easy upholstery alike.

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.
