About this fabric

At 570gsm, this outdoor weave has a substantial presence, while its 112 threads per centimetre support the detailed surface seen in the swatch. The light cream background keeps the colourway fresh, contrasting with deep olive foliage, muted sage leaves, brown-grey branches and touches of terracotta, ochre and soft pink. Its botanical pattern repeats over 83.5cm vertically and 68cm horizontally, creating a clearly structured layout rather than an all-over texture. With a 136cm usable width and 35m standard length, it is well suited to coordinated outdoor upholstery projects requiring pattern matching.

How to use it

Use the cream and muted green base to soften a garden seat, dining chair or outdoor bench, then pick up the clay branches with terracotta cushions or pottery. The darker olive foliage also works against charcoal, weathered timber and natural stone.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Blackthorn Weave Nettle/Clay 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.
