About this fabric

This outdoor fabric has a substantial 585 gsm weight and a useable width of 141 cm, making it well suited to hard-wearing upholstery. The muted blue-grey woad shade reads softly against the ivory ground, with the textured weave gently breaking up the colour rather than leaving it flat. Its floral design has a 67 cm vertical repeat and 71 cm horizontal repeat, giving the scrolling foliage a clearly established rhythm across larger upholstered pieces. A construction of 53.3 threads per cm adds to the visibly dense, tactile character, while the standard length is 30 m.

How to use it

Use the cool woad-and-ivory colourway on outdoor cushions, dining seats or a statement bench, balancing its intricate floral scale with plain ivory or weathered blue upholstery elsewhere.

Use this cool woad-and-ivory floral on outdoor seating where its dense pattern can make a confident statement.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Thistle Weave Woad 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.
