08 Raffia

Yangtze Fabric08

Yangtze 08 Raffia has a softly warm oatmeal-beige ground, threaded with subtle taupe and grey-brown variation. Its close-up texture is defined by a fine, irregular crosshatch that gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The woven surface combines pale beige yarns with slightly darker horizontal and vertical threads, creating a natural raffia-like character. Light catches the uneven weave in fine, linear highlights, while the muted undertones keep the colour calm and grounded. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its appeal here is its understated colour and tactile surface.

How to use it

Use this warm oatmeal shade to soften a neutral sofa, armchair or curtain scheme, pairing it with raw timber, chalky paint and taupe accents. The fine crosshatch texture adds interest without introducing a strong pattern.

A warm, quietly textured neutral whose fine crosshatch weave brings relaxed depth to upholstery or drapery.

08 Raffia 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.
