Strands of small pearls appear to decorate the linen ground of Beaded Leaves, although it’s actually machine embroidery that simulates a classic French knot stitch with a white cotton yarn.  The vine motif flips horizontally and half-drops as it repeats across the width, creating a larger sense of movement and more complexity in the design.

Two linen and cotton fabrics lead this ‘green’ group: a striae of cut and loop pile stripes Chamfered Velvet, while Garden offers a large-scale warp print that simulates a feathery ikat.  Next is Everest, combining four fibers in a wonderfully thick and heathered yarn.  Fluted Cotton and Resurface follow with linear patterns, the one from fine ottoman rows and the other from bamboo yarns that brush the recycled polyester ground with texture.

Long stitches of a wrapped Lurex thread densely embroider glistening nuggets across the surface of this supple velvet, in a heady combination of luxurious materials.  The embroidery coverage on Razzle Dazzle is so heavy that the velvet is barely visible, and acts more as a faint frosting or haze that peaks out around the motif.

Columns of elliptical forms snug up to each other in Go Go, an energetic polyester-faced matelassé.  Linked together and outlined by ogee curves, the motif sits above the surrounding ground, thickly filled with a heavy cotton stuffer yarn.  The high relief accents the simple graphics of this playful design, and the colorline extends from saturated hospitality tones to restrained neutrals.

Fancy That’s classic damask construction weaves satin-smooth areas that reverse to the opposite on the back.  Very fine cotton yarns color the ground, while silk lights up the mercurial fan motif that flips back and forth down vertical columns. 

The pattern of tossed fans often figures on Japanese kimonos, and was the starting point in this design’s development.  Here, it is charged with the graphic energy of the 60’s, scaled and colored for fun and drama.  Fancy That is 54” wide and comes in 5 colorways.
 

Squirt’s playful, lighthearted motif employs a crepe-like weave to nudge a slub viscose yarn into the look-alike role of a pebbly bouclé.  It weaves with one of the  warp colors, while the other joins with linen, cotton and a fine bright polyester yarn to weave a gentle striae in the ground.

A spontaneous quality to the drawing gives Squirt a charming, hand drawn, youthful  simplicity.  It is 54 1/2” wide and comes in 6 colorways.
 

Think of Classic Velvet, a luxurious and supple pile fabric, as the cotton equivalent of cashmere.  Woven with extremely fine yarn, the surface is subtly patterned by an antiqued, or voided, effect.  The exquisitely clear-toned palette further distinguishes this beautiful velvet.  A part of the Pure collection, it is 55” wide and comes in 8 colorways.  (Shown:  all colorways of Classic Velvet 5086)
 

Two wool yarns, one solid and the other heathered, weave Wool Marquetry’s classic inlaid motif and ground.  In Silk Ribbons, silk and cotton yarns create the illusion of delicate grosgrain ribbons decorating a length of taffeta.  Basketwork deftly employs two yarns, one cotton and the other a silk/wool/linen twist yarn, to create the effect of an exaggerated basketweave.  And in Rustic Linen, yarns of different fibers, sizes and profiles are bundled together to weave either as a single element or as separate yarns.  A rustic, handwoven, jumbled surface results, a chic and stunning counterpoint to smoother textures.  (Shown, from top:  Wool Marquetry 1043/06 mushroom, Silk Ribbons 6059/05 dark taupe, Basketwork 4151/02 greige and Rustic Linen 5081/02 woodgrain)

From the Pure collection: the refined motif of SILK GRILLE is drawn with a spun silk warp, a lustrous counterpoint to the varied tones, slubs and textures of the silk and linen ground. LINEN VELOUR is a totally unique panne velvet with a gently frosted pile of linen and bamboo fibers, one matte and the other softly polished. They create this fabric’s impressive weight, dry surface and fluid, sensuous hand. WOOL LOOPS is simply patterned with a heavily textured wool and nylon novelty yarn, woven in rows of exaggerated loops that dot the surface. An exceptional linen yarn, thick and softly polished, weaves LINEN HOPSACK, a traditional plain weave that pairs several yarns in both the warp and weft to weave a basket pattern. 

The refined checkerboard of PLUSH BOXES introduces a strong graphic to the Pure collection, with a motif as classically appropriate as a Greek key design. A striae of linen, cotton and a touch of lustrous polyester forms the background grid for precise rectangles of plush velvet and alternating ridged squares, both woven with the viscose and silk warp. PLUSH BOXES is 54" wide, heavy duty and available in 4 colorways. 

Geode fashions organic shapes and gemstone colors with matte polyester and textured viscose yarns. Used in equal proportion, these two filling yarns weave on the face as long floats of pure color that trace layers of concentric lines. Delicate warp tie-down points follow similar paths, while adding detail and texture to the surface. Geode is 53 1/2" wide, heavy duty and is available in 11 colorways. 

A silk taffeta ground hosts the luscious embroidered botanical motif that is simply Poetry. Remarkably,
only one color of viscose embroidery thread is used; the active, shifting range of colors is simply a visual
impression, created by the changing direction and density of the long, feathery stitches.
Poetry is 53 1/2" wide and is available in 5 colorways. 

The soft ripples of this plissé add a disarming charm to Silk Pleats' allure. Its loose horizontal pleats, gently polished and opaque against the sheer ground, come about via a double warp beam construction, which allows
selected warp ends to weave as a separate layer. Silk Pleats, part of the Pure collection, is 53" wide and is
offered in 3 colorways.

The second striped window fabric, Amalfi, offers an air of fashion and sophistication. The slubs in its ground hint at the linen and polyester filling yarn that crosses the fine polyester warp. Countering this random, natural texture is the slick polish of a heavier polyester yarn that weaves the graduated brocading stripes. Amalfi is 129" wide and has
3 colorways.
