Beige
Warm and undyed-feeling — oat through to a soft tan, the colour of the yarn before anyone reaches for dye.
The Palette
Beige and grey at the heart of the house, and a woven check in almond, mocha and sage. A short palette on purpose, so that everything we make can share a bed, a room and a shelf without a single thing having to match.
The core neutrals
Grey
Cool and quiet — a soft, even grey that steps back and lets a room do the talking.
And for the check
Three soft earth tones, each woven with white into a gentle grid — warm enough to lift a room, quiet enough to sit beside the beige and the grey.
Why a short palette
A wider palette asks you to coordinate. Ours does the opposite: two calm neutrals for the stripes and the plain, three soft earth tones for the check, all woven rather than printed, so the colour lives in the cloth rather than sitting on top of it. Beige warms a room, grey cools it, and almond, mocha and sage sit happily beside either.
The discipline is the point. Because every colour was chosen against the others, a beige bedspread and a grey sheet already belong together, a sage check meets either, and a piece bought this season still meets the one bought two years ago. Fewer decisions, and nothing that dates.
The woven designs
Across the five colours, the cloth is worked three ways — all of them woven into the fabric, not printed on afterwards.
