Islay Twill Opal

Islay Twill Opal has a quiet, cool-toned appearance, with pale blue-grey threads softened by fine beige and warm grey flecks. Its close twill weave gives the surface a subtly directional texture rather than a printed pattern.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as a muted opal blue-grey overall, with the mixed threads creating gentle depth across the surface. A fine diagonal twill is clearly visible in the close-up, giving the cloth a neat, lightly textured finish. Small variations between cool blue, stone and beige tones keep the colourway soft rather than saturated. With no additional performance or specification data supplied, its suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended upholstery or drapery project.

How to use it

Pair this cool opal blue-grey with chalky whites, pale timber and soft stone upholstery for an airy scheme, or use it to temper warmer beige and tan furnishings. The restrained flecking also works well alongside plain linens and lightly textured wovens.

Use this muted opal blue-grey twill to bring cool, understated texture to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Islay Twill Opal 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.

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.
