Romney British Wool Bark

Romney Fabric001

Romney British Wool Bark is a warm brown-tan plain weave with a softly mottled surface. Its close, even texture gives the deep bark shade a gentle variation rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a grounded bark brown with tan warmth, while the fine woven grain catches the light subtly across the surface. This is a plain, semi-plain textile with no visible motif, making its depth and tactile wool texture the defining features. Woven from 100% Romney Wool, it is approximately 137cm wide and specified for curtains and fixed upholstery. The fabric is suitable for Contract and General Domestic use, with dry-clean care.

How to use it

Use Bark to add warm, earthy depth to a reading chair, sofa or upholstered bench, particularly alongside cream, tobacco, timber and aged-metal tones. Its restrained brown surface can also form quietly substantial curtains where a plain wool texture is preferred.

A warm, quietly textured wool plain that brings depth to tailored upholstery and softly framed curtains.

Pairs well with

Romney British Wool Bark 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.
