Ruskin Weaves FabricMOF0125-15

Ruskin Forest is a deep, muted green woven in a quiet, plain surface. Its soft forest tone shifts gently across the swatch as the fine horizontal and vertical grain catches the light.

About this fabric

The 410 gsm weight gives this textile a substantial, upholstery-friendly presence, while the visible 22 threads per cm create a fine, closely woven texture. Its forest green colour is softened rather than vivid, with a cool, leafy depth that keeps the plain surface from appearing flat. Supplied at a 140 cm usable width, it has no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, making cutting straightforward across the solid ground. The standard length is 30 m, suitable for planning coordinated upholstery work in the same colourway.

How to use it

Pair Ruskin Forest with warm timber, aged brass and natural neutrals to bring out its leafy depth, or use it on a sofa or occasional chair as a calm, grounded green accent.

Use this weighty green weave on upholstery where its quiet texture can provide depth without introducing a printed motif.

Pairs well with

Ruskin Forest is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
