About this fabric

This Zinc Textile fabric is catalogued as part of the Shorn Sheepskin collection and has a dense, tactile surface with an irregular, sheepskin-like nap. The Clay colourway sits between warm grey and muted beige, with darker flecks and softly changing areas that become more apparent across the swatch. Its plush-looking weight makes it best suited to upholstery, particularly where a quiet surface texture is wanted rather than a printed pattern. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair the warm taupe-grey tone with chalky neutrals, natural timber and aged leather for a calm, layered scheme. Its softly varied surface would add understated texture to an armchair, headboard or compact sofa.

Use this warm taupe-grey upholstery fabric to bring soft, tactile depth to contemporary seating and occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

Shornsheepskin Clay 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.
