Little Book of Morris Fabrics FabricMOF0202-04

Yew & Aril Ink brings Morris & Co.'s small botanical pattern into a cool, deep blue-grey colourway. In the swatch, fine pale sprigs crowd the ground, creating texture through contrast rather than a large, emphatic motif.

About this fabric

The image shows a cool ink blue-grey ground densely covered with tiny, pale, leaf-like sprigs; the close-set marks give the surface a lively, almost stippled rhythm. At 275 gsm and 35 threads per cm, this is a substantial mid-weight textile with a finely constructed appearance. Both pattern repeats measure 46 cm vertically and horizontally, so the motif is organised on a square repeat rather than a one-way stripe. With a 138 cm usable width and a 60 m standard length, it offers practical scale for furnishing runs.

How to use it

Use this cool ink-and-pale-grey colourway where a room needs pattern without warmth: it would bring quiet definition to a reading chair, cushion or full-length curtain.

The cool ink blue-grey ground and densely scattered pale sprigs suit upholstery and curtains where understated pattern is wanted.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Yew & Aril Ink 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.
