Dimity Fabric012

Dimity Straw combines warm straw bands with pale blue and creamy ground stripes in a finely detailed vertical design. The softly textured linen surface gives the colourway a gently natural, lightly aged appearance.

About this fabric

The vertical layout alternates broad straw stripes with narrower pale blue and cream bands, while delicate dotted and zigzag-like lines add definition within the lighter sections. The straw tone brings warmth and depth, balanced by the cooler blue accents and soft, low-contrast cream background. Made from 100% linen, Dimity is approximately 137cm wide and is suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery in a general domestic setting. Allow 3% shrinkage; care is by delicate wash at 30°C or dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use Dimity Straw for relaxed curtains in a room with pale painted walls, or on a classic chair where the warm straw stripes can connect with timber and tan upholstery. The pale blue detail also works neatly with washed blues, muted neutrals and soft cream furnishings.

A smart vertical stripe combining warm straw with pale blue and cream for curtains, blinds or domestic upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Dimity Straw without fighting it. 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.
