Dovedale Duck Egg

Misc Fabric

Dovedale Duck Egg is a soft checked fabric with a light, breezy duck egg blue laid over a creamy base. The woven grid gives it a gently tailored look without losing its relaxed, country-house feel.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a muted duck egg blue with a pale, airy ground, so the check reads fresh rather than strong or contrasty. The woven surface has a lightly textured, linen-like appearance that softens the intersecting stripes and gives the design an easy, lived-in character. At 137cm wide, it offers practical flexibility for furnishing projects, and the 18cm pattern repeat is clear enough to align neatly across larger pieces. Its 64% polyester, 18% cotton, 9% viscose and 9% linen composition supports that balanced look, with the NQT1 care instruction indicating a fabric intended for careful handling.

How to use it

Use Dovedale Duck Egg on relaxed armchairs, bench cushions or Roman blinds where the pale blue check can keep a room feeling open. It pairs especially well with white-painted woodwork, driftwood tones and soft grey accents.

Fresh and airy, it works well on relaxed upholstery or light curtains.

Dovedale Duck Egg 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.
