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.

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.
