Orkney Mink

Name: Orkney Mink
Brand: Isle Mill

Orkney Mink has a muted grey-mink tone with a softly mottled appearance across its close, tactile surface. The boucle texture gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

This Orkney Boucle colourway is woven in a subdued mink-grey shade, balanced between cool grey and warm taupe. Small loops and irregular nubs create the visibly pebbled texture, while fine tonal variation catches the light across the surface. Its dense-looking handle makes it best suited to upholstery. No composition, width, rub-test figures or performance features are supplied for this listing.

How to use it

Pair the quiet grey-mink tone with chalky creams, weathered timber and darker charcoal accents, using it on an occasional chair, bench or softly tailored sofa where its boucle texture can be seen and felt.

Use this softly mottled grey-mink boucle to bring tactile depth to relaxed upholstery and neutral interiors.

Pairs well with

Orkney Mink 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.
