Yeti Fabric

Ermine Ermine brings a softly mottled taupe-grey surface to the Yeti collection. In the image, its dense, fur-like pile catches the light unevenly, creating gentle tonal depth rather than a flat neutral.

About this fabric

The visible surface is tactile and plush, with close-set fibres shifting between warm taupe, grey and deeper brown-grey accents. Its softly irregular pile gives the colourway a cosy, luxurious character and makes it read as a textured neutral beside the sharper striped and geometric furnishings shown. The fabric is catalogued as a textile fabric with no performance features, composition, width or rub-test information supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Ermine Ermine on an occasional chair, headboard or statement bench where its mottled taupe-grey tone can soften darker architectural lines. Pair it with charcoal, stone and brushed metal for a layered, contemporary scheme.

A plush, tactile neutral with a softly mottled surface, suited to statement upholstery and layered soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Ermine Ermine 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.
