Ruskin Slate is a quiet, blue-grey woven textile with a cool slate cast and a barely visible linear grain. Its even surface shifts gently between soft grey and muted blue-green as the light moves across it.

About this fabric
This plain fabric has a softly textured weave rather than a printed motif, with fine horizontal and vertical irregularities visible across the slate-coloured surface. The 410gsm weight gives Ruskin Slate a substantial upholstery character, while its 22 threads per cm create a closely structured appearance. It has a 140cm usable width and a standard length of 30m. With both vertical and horizontal pattern repeats recorded as 0cm, the uninterrupted ground is straightforward to position across a piece.
How to use it
Use Ruskin Slate on a generously upholstered chair, sofa or headboard where its cool blue-grey tone can anchor warmer timber and soften crisp whites. Its restrained colour also works with smoky blues, stone and muted green accents.
Use this cool slate weave to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating and pair it with pale woods, chalky neutrals or brushed metal.

Pairs well with
Ruskin Slate 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.
