Ruskin Quill

Ruskin Quill is a quiet pale-ivory fabric with a finely textured surface. Its close weave is lightly flecked with cooler grey threads, giving the swatch gentle depth rather than a flat solid colour.

About this fabric

The surface reads as a softly irregular weave, with fine vertical slubs and small tonal variations visible across the light ground. Warm ivory and oatmeal notes are tempered by delicate grey flecks, creating a muted, natural-looking neutral. The restrained texture keeps the fabric relaxed and tactile without introducing a bold motif. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this pale ivory and grey-flecked colourway with chalky walls, light oak and softly aged neutrals. Its subtle vertical texture would suit relaxed upholstery as well as full-length curtains where a calm, lightly textured finish is wanted.

Use this softly flecked ivory weave to bring gentle texture to upholstery, curtains or relaxed neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Ruskin Quill 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.
