About this fabric

The face is a dense plain weave in rich indigo blue, with subtle horizontal and vertical texture visible across the surface rather than a printed or repeating motif. At 410gsm and 22 threads/cm, it has a substantial woven presence suited to upholstery. The 140cm usable width provides a practical format for covering seating, while the 30m standard length supports larger upholstery schemes. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0cm, so the colour and weave remain continuous across the cloth.

How to use it

Use this cool, deep indigo on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its saturated blue can anchor a room. Pair it with pale neutrals to clarify the colour, or warm timber to bring out the fabric’s depth.

Its dense indigo weave brings depth to upholstered seating and pairs well with warm timber or neutral upholstery accents.

Ruskin Indigo 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.
