Galloway is a unique wool and silk mix fabric, with 15% stretch in both warp and weft that adapts wonderfully to modern furniture shapes, pushing the barriers of creative possibilities to suit all shapes, forms and uses. This new range features twenty colours, including bold brights and subtle tones but can also be dyed in custom colours for as little as 50 metres. As Galloway is piece-dyed, the lustrous silk neps dye a lighter colour to the matt wool, giving a highlighted sparkling effect, and accentuating the pebble- like texture. In addition, Galloway is highly durable, reaching 100,000 rubs on the Martindale, making it practical for a wide range of applications, from domestic to contract use.

Another recent addition is the Storr collection, a giant boucle, with colours selected by Tom Dixon. This new luxurious boucle fabric with a soft textured surface and subtle flecks of Donegal yarn, was chosen to complement Tom Dixon's new furniture range. The name Storr is inspired by the Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye, the texture echoing its rock formation. It' being produced in three colourways with an intense and ethereal palette of pale grey, deep turquoise and a rich purple. Kingarth & Kintyre are three dimensional fabrics with seersucker-like textured stripes and small shadowed oval pockets of colour. This lively range features eighteen fresh contemporary colours including fiery reds and oranges, sumptuous pinks and a deep midnight with turquoise.
