Description

Somewhere between mushroom and dove grey, with a faint rosy warmth that shows in daylight, this taupe is the sort of neutral that never looks flat. The surface is covered in fine wavy ribs running down the length, a soft ripple that gives the cloth a gently shifting, almost watery look, while the reverse is paler and smoother with light streaks across it. It's a 150cm wide woven at 110gsm: light, cool and silky in the hand, with a fluid drape that skims rather than stands away.

The mix of 47% rayon, 36% Tencel and 17% nylon brings the slippery smoothness of cellulose fibres, with the nylon adding a little body. Pale colours are honest about a light cloth, so hold it up to the light before you cut: depending on the garment, you may want a slip or a lining underneath. In taupe the texture really comes into its own, picking up soft shadows in every ridge, and it sits happily alongside cream, chocolate, soft pink or charcoal. There's no stretch, so allow a little ease.

What to make with it

This is a fabric for easy, elegant summer dressing. The Named Taimi Dress suits that liquid drape well, letting gathers fall softly instead of puffing out, and the Tessuti Athina Top makes a simple shape look considered once the ripple catches the light. For something you'll reach for every week, the Tilly and the Buttons Indigo works as both a breezy top and a swingy dress.

Taupe is a natural partner for linen trousers, denim and pale knits, so a top or two in this will slot into a wardrobe with no fuss at all. Fine needles and a short stitch length will keep seams neat in such a light cloth.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.

Dry Clean - Any Solvent Except Trichloroethylene.
