Hector Russet

Islay Wools FabricSAF0262-06

Hector Russet has a warm, earthy terracotta tone with a fine herringbone-like weave that gives the surface quiet movement. The colour reads as softened russet rather than bright orange, with a dry woolly finish that feels tailored and substantial.

About this fabric

From the Islay Wools collection by Sanderson, this fabric has a usable width of 141 cm and a substantial 372 gsm weight, making it well suited to hard-wearing interior use. The 27.5 threads per cm construction creates a close, refined surface, while the 18.9 cm vertical repeat and 4.5 cm horizontal repeat sit within the woven texture rather than reading as a bold pattern. In this colourway, the russet base is muted and warm, with coppery and cinnamon undertones that deepen in the weave. The result is a smart, grounded wool look that feels rich without becoming glossy or heavy-handed.

How to use it

Use Hector Russet to bring warmth to upholstered dining chairs, a compact sofa or a window seat where the terracotta tone can sit against timber and bronze. It also works well with cream walls and olive or tobacco accents for a layered, autumnal room scheme.

Pairs well with oak, tan leather and deep olive accents.

Pairs well with

Hector Russet 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.
