Yangtze 09 Penny is a softly variegated taupe-brown textile with a visibly interlaced surface. Fine horizontal and vertical yarns form a subtle crosshatched texture, giving the colour gentle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm taupe, muted brown and weathered grey, with lighter threads catching across the surface to soften the overall tone. Its close woven structure has a lightly irregular, slub-like appearance, while the small-scale grid remains quiet and non-directional. This mid-weight-looking texture is versatile enough to suit upholstered pieces or drapery. No composition, width, rub-test or performance data has been supplied for this SKU.

How to use it

Use 09 Penny on a relaxed armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its warm taupe-brown tone can anchor creams, stone shades and deeper timber finishes. Its fine crosshatch also works well as understated curtains or Roman blinds in a naturally layered room.

The warm taupe ground and fine woven crosshatch bring understated texture to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

09 Penny 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.
