Fabric By The Metre, Elliot Wool, Granite

Elliot's a warm, pure wool with timeless elegance, thanks to its cosy, almost felted feel and subtle herringbone weave. Traditionally made for strength as well as looks, this time-tested pattern dates as far back as the Roman empire (who laid bricks and stone in herringbone formations to create roads) but was later made popular through menswear - this fabric retains that signature tailored feel while the soft texture and gentle drape keeps it relaxed. Its natural place is on everyday sofas, armchairs, footstools, cushions and curtains where it looks classic and can withstand plenty of wear.
