About this fabric

The swatch shows a plain flint-grey ground with a subtle lilac undertone, rather than a blue or warm brown grey. Fine woven lines are visible across the surface, adding quiet texture without a printed motif or directional pattern. At 410gsm and 140cm usable width, this is a substantial textile suited to upholstery. The vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are both 0cm, with a standard length of 30m and 22 threads per centimetre.

How to use it

Use Ruskin Flint on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its cool lilac-grey tone can soften black, charcoal and pale timber. Its quiet plain weave also works as a calm foundation beside patterned Morris & Co. textiles.

A substantial cool grey woven cloth for tailored upholstery, with a quiet lilac cast that suits calm, contemporary schemes.

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.
