{"product_id":"gp-and-j-baker-dara","title":"GP \u0026 J Baker | Dara","description":"\u003cp\u003eDara belongs to GP \u0026amp; J Baker's Essential Weaves range, the house's working plains and textures rather than a figured pattern: a fine, close weave in viscose, cotton, linen and polyester with a repeat so small it reads as an even ground rather than a motif. It is the kind of cloth the house keeps in constant production because it does the quiet work in a scheme, sitting behind a pattern rather than competing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposition is 42 per cent viscose, 32 per cent cotton, 22 per cent linen and 4 per cent polyester. It is 137 centimetres wide, with a 2 centimetre vertical and 3 centimetre horizontal repeat, tested to 35,000 rubs on the Martindale, which is comfortably rated for upholstery. GP \u0026amp; J Baker specify it for curtains and both loose and fixed upholstery. There is one colourway, Oatmeal, a warm, pale neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use Dara as a foundation fabric: a sofa or an armchair in a room where the pattern is doing its work on the curtains or the walls, or as the curtain itself in a pared-back scheme. It also covers a footstool or a window seat well. Pair it with a documentary print or an embroidery from the house archive for contrast. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing a near-plain, Dara has almost no pattern wastage, so quantities can be calculated on drop and width alone. At 35,000 rubs it is a genuinely hard-wearing upholstery weight; ask your upholsterer about railroading on a sofa run to avoid a seam across the seat. For curtains, line as usual; no repeat matching is needed at this scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42% viscose, 32% cotton, 22% linen, 4% polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 137 cm (54 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 cm vertical, 3 cm horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasion resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35,000 rubs (Martindale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curtains, loose and fixed upholstery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean only; do not wash, bleach or iron.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Essential Colour II, GP \u0026amp; J Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Oatmeal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GP \u0026 J Baker","offers":[{"title":"Oatmeal","offer_id":58057711976830,"sku":"BF10727.230","price":69.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Oatmeal","offer_id":58057712009598,"sku":"SAMPLE-BF10727.230","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/BF10727_230.png?v=1789774574","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/gp-and-j-baker-dara","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
