About this fabric

Broad checks are built from flecked grey and cream yarns, with darker diagonal hatching adding definition through the larger blocks. The woven surface appears softly nubby, allowing the pale ground and charcoal-grey marks to merge slightly at the edges. This is a textile from Isle Mill’s Hermitage Castle Undyed Wools collection; no further composition, width or performance specification has been supplied. The restrained, cool colour balance gives the check a relaxed and subtly rustic character.

How to use it

Use this cool grey-and-cream colourway on a fireside chair, window seat or relaxed sofa, pairing it with chalky walls, pale timber and other muted woven textures. The soft contrast works particularly well where a checked pattern is wanted without a strong graphic effect.

A softly textured grey-and-cream check that brings a quiet country character to upholstered seating.

Hermitage Castle Eilean Donan 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.
