22 Shale
Joelle Fabric22
Joelle 22 Shale has a cool, mineral-grey appearance, with a finely woven surface that gives the plain colour subtle movement. The close-up reveals a softly mottled shade rather than a flat block of grey.

About this fabric
This colourway combines pale and charcoal-grey threads in a fine crosshatched weave, creating the weathered depth associated with shale stone. The irregular horizontal and vertical texture is clearly visible across the face, while small lighter flecks catch the light. Its restrained, cool tone gives the fabric a calm and quietly contemporary character. No composition, width or performance specifications have been supplied for this colourway.
How to use it
Use 22 Shale on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where its cool grey texture can balance warm timber, cream upholstery and softly coloured artwork.
Use this cool, mottled grey as a quiet foundation for layered natural textures and warmer accents.

Pairs well with
22 Shale 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.
