Burnham Woad

Name: Burnham Woad
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0443-05

Burnham Woad shows a clean, narrow stripe in pale woad blue and soft ivory, with a crisp woven surface that reads fresh and airy. The repeat is very tight, so the pattern feels orderly and understated rather than bold.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Orwell Weaves collection is a substantial textile at 454 gsm, with a usable width of 143 cm and a fine 0.8 cm horizontal repeat. The close vertical striping gives the cloth a neat, tailored look, while the pale blue threads sit lightly against the ivory ground for a cool, washed finish. Its surface has the character of a tightly woven fabric with visible thread definition, which adds clarity and texture without making the pattern heavy. With no performance finish noted, it is best considered for decorative upholstery where the weight can be appreciated.

How to use it

Use Burnham Woad on a compact armchair, bench cushion, or piping detail where the narrow stripe can stay aligned and crisp. Its cool blue tone works especially well with white-painted wood, pale oak, and relaxed coastal schemes.

A crisp blue-and-ivory stripe that suits tailored cushions and neat upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Burnham Woad without fighting it. 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.
