Ruskin Weaves FabricMOF0125-16

A rich mustard-ochre plain weave, Ruskin Mustard shows a softly mottled surface rather than a printed motif. The close threads create gentle tonal shifts as light moves across the swatch.

About this fabric

Ruskin Mustard is a dense, plain-woven textile in a warm ochre-yellow mustard, with subtle tonal variation across the surface as the fine weave catches the light. At 410gsm and 140cm usable width, its substantial construction is well suited to upholstery. The fabric is listed at 22 threads per cm, while the 0cm vertical and horizontal repeats confirm an all-over plain surface without a repeating motif. Its standard length is 30m.

How to use it

Use this warm, earthy yellow on an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard where its deep mustard tone can act as a confident focal colour. Pair it with aged wood, natural linens and muted olive or brown accents to reinforce its grounded character.

A dense mustard-ochre plain weave that brings warm, earthy colour to upholstered seating.

Ruskin Mustard 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.
