Sheepskin Linen

Name: Sheepskin Linen
Brand: Zinc Textile

Sheepskin Linen has a pale warm-greige tone and a densely textured surface that resembles soft, closely curled sheepskin. Its subtle tonal variation gives the otherwise quiet colourway a gently tactile presence.

About this fabric

This Zinc Textile fabric is woven in a light taupe-beige shade, with small cream and mushroom-toned shifts visible throughout the swatch. The irregular curled texture creates a softly raised surface rather than a printed motif, giving the cloth its distinctive sheepskin character. Light catches the uneven loops in delicate patches, adding depth without making the colour feel busy. Its substantial-looking texture reads as relaxed and well suited to upholstered seating.

How to use it

Use this pale warm greige on an armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its softly curled surface can add tactile interest to a restrained neutral scheme. Pair it with chalky creams, warm timber and muted stone shades to echo the swatch’s gentle tonal variation.

A tactile, sheepskin-like upholstery fabric that brings softly textured warmth to neutral seating.

Pairs well with

Sheepskin Linen 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.
