Fenton Check Indigo/Stone

Islay Wools FabricSAF0259-03

Fenton Check Indigo/Stone shows a soft, timeworn check in layered indigo, stone and pale blue-grey. The woven surface reads gently mottled rather than crisp, giving the design a relaxed, woolly character.

About this fabric

This colourway combines cool indigo blocks with stone-coloured crossings, so the check feels weathered and quietly traditional rather than sharp. The woven texture softens the grid, and the lighter yarns lift the darker blue, creating a lived-in depth across the surface. At 383 gsm, with a usable width of 141 cm and a repeat of 15.8 cm vertical by 15.5 cm horizontal, it has the substance and pattern scale suited to tailored upholstery. The 27.5 threads per cm help give the cloth its neat, closely worked appearance while still retaining a wool-rich softness.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair, banquette or loose cover where the indigo tones can anchor a room without feeling heavy. It pairs well with chalky neutrals, aged timber and brushed metal finishes.

A cool, easy check that works beautifully on classic country seating and tailored cushions.

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.
