Acorn Moss

Lethaby Weaves FabricMOF0121-04

Acorn Moss pairs a softly weathered moss-olive ground with a dense, pale botanical weave. Slender branching stems, curling leaves and small clustered forms create a detailed but gently tonal surface.

About this fabric

The muted olive shade has a quiet, greyed quality, while the lighter woven motifs bring the leafy pattern into focus without a hard contrast. Its dense vertical sprays and curling foliage repeat across the cloth, giving the surface a structured Morris & Co. character. This fabric has a 464 gsm weight, 55 threads per cm and a 143 cm usable width, giving it a substantial woven handle for upholstery. The pattern repeats every 67 cm vertically and 71.5 cm horizontally, allowing the botanical layout to remain clearly visible across a larger upholstered piece.

How to use it

Use Acorn Moss on a statement armchair, footstool or sofa where its soft olive depth can sit alongside warm timber, aged brass and natural linen. Its restrained contrast also works well as a grounding botanical accent in rooms built around cream, stone and muted green tones.

A substantial woven botanical in a softly muted moss-olive palette, suited to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Acorn Moss without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
