Tarka FabricJ0104-08
Sumi Blue shows a softly mottled blue surface with a fine, woven texture and a calm, slightly heathered look. The small-scale pattern reads crisp from a distance and gently tactile up close.

About this fabric
From Jane Churchill’s Tarka collection, this fabric is a textile with no repeat, so the woven texture does all the visual work. The mix of 45% acrylic, 34% polyester, 9% viscose, 7% cotton and 5% linen gives the cloth a balanced, dry-handled character that suits everyday use. In Sumi Blue, the shade sits between powder and denim, with pale grey-blue highlights breaking up the ground and giving it a softly speckled depth. At approximately 142cm wide, it offers useful flexibility for both upholstery and drapery applications.
How to use it
Use Sumi Blue to bring a cool, tailored note to a sofa, bench or headboard, or hang it at the window for a light, woven softness. It pairs neatly with chalk white, pale oak and brushed chrome, and also sits well beside natural linens and deeper navy accents.
A cool, quietly tailored blue that works beautifully on smart upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with
Sumi 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.
