Cape Mohair Husky

Cape Mohair Fabric

Cape Mohair Husky reads as a calm mushroom taupe with a gently mottled surface and a softly brushed mohair look. The plain finish gives it a quiet, tailored presence rather than a bold statement.

About this fabric

Woven in 50% Mohair and 50% Acrylic, Cape Mohair Husky is specified for upholstery and has a high 80,000 Martindale rub test, making it a practical choice for everyday seating. The 140 cm width offers good coverage for larger pieces, while the plain structure keeps the focus on the colour and texture. In this colourway, the tone sits between grey and brown with a warm, hushed depth that feels less cool than a straight grey. The pile-like surface catches light softly, creating subtle shifts across the fabric rather than a flat finish.

How to use it

Use this taupe on sofas, armchairs or banquettes where you want a restrained, textural backdrop. It pairs especially well with oak, bronze and chalky neutrals, and its muted depth helps soften sharper contemporary lines.

A versatile neutral with a softly brushed finish that suits tailored seating and pared-back interiors.

Pairs well with

Cape Mohair Husky 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.
