Timeless Wool Sheers Fabric

Whisper Grey Mist is a pale, cool grey textile with an airy, almost clouded appearance. Its close-up surface is understated rather than patterned, with fine vertical yarn movement adding gentle depth.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a soft grey mist, with a cool cast and a lightly variegated surface that keeps the pale tone from appearing flat. Fine vertical lines and subtle slubs are visible across the weave, giving the cloth a delicate, quietly tactile character. There is no distinct motif, making the texture and restrained tonal variation the focus of this colourway. As part of the Timeless Wool Sheers collection, it is especially suited to drapery where its light, fluid-looking handle can remain understated.

How to use it

Use this cool grey at full-length windows to create a calm, softly filtered backdrop, pairing it with chalky whites, pale stone and brushed silver. Its misted tone also works well against darker grey upholstery when a room needs gentle contrast without strong colour.

A cool, misty grey with a delicate vertical texture for softly tailored curtains and calm, light-filled rooms.

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.
