Faroe Slate is a deep, cool grey textile with a closely spaced herringbone weave. Its small broken chevron pattern creates subtle movement across the charcoal-slate ground without becoming visually busy.

About this fabric

The finely woven surface combines dark slate and softer grey threads, giving the cloth a gently textured, low-key appearance with visible tonal variation at close range. Faroe is woven from 16% linen, 18% viscose, 20% cotton, 40% wool and 6% polyester. At approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery, with Contract and General Domestic upholstery grades. After-care is dry clean only.

How to use it

Use Faroe Slate on a tailored sofa, dining chair or upholstered headboard where its cool charcoal tone can anchor pale stone, chalk and soft timber finishes. It also works as a restrained curtain fabric when a fine woven pattern is preferred over a plain grey.

The cool, dark slate tone and fine herringbone texture bring tailored depth to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Faroe Slate 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.
