Foss Denim has a cool, weathered denim-blue tone, softened by fine grey, taupe and lilac threads. Its closely woven herringbone gives the surface a subtle directional movement rather than a flat plain appearance.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% pure new wool, this 137cm-wide fabric is catalogued for curtains and general domestic fixed upholstery. The small herringbone is clearly visible across the swatch, with alternating blue-grey lines catching the light against warmer flecks in the weave. Foss Denim reads as muted and quietly layered rather than bright, making its blue-purple character feel grounded and adaptable. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Pair Foss Denim with chalky whites, weathered timber and soft taupe upholstery for a relaxed, coastal-leaning scheme. Used as curtains, its cool blue-grey depth will add pattern and texture without dominating the room.

Use this cool denim-blue herringbone to bring quiet texture to curtains, sofas or occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

Foss Denim 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.
