{"product_id":"mark-alexander-tissage","title":"Mark Alexander | Tissage","description":"\u003cp\u003eTissage is a flat woven braid in linen and wool, made to finish an edge rather than to decorate one. The weave is close and slightly ribbed, with the wool giving it a soft matt surface and the linen keeping it straight and stable along its length. There is no cord, no fringe and no shine to it. The whole point is a clean band of texture that sits against a plain cloth and reads as part of the same piece of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 66% LI linen and 34% WO wool, and it is supplied by the half metre. It comes in one colourway, Plaster, a soft off-white with a faintly warm cast that sits between cream and pale stone. With a single shade in the range, the question is what it goes against rather than which to choose: it holds its own on an undyed linen and reads as a quiet contrast on a mid-tone ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use Tissage as a leading-edge trim on curtains, set in twenty or thirty millimetres from the edge so it shows against the fabric rather than disappearing into the fold. It also works run around a Roman blind, along the top and bottom of a cushion, or as a border on a loose cover to pick out the shape of the frame. Order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your run first and add generously for returns, corners and a finished end at each termination. On curtains and blinds a flat braid should be hand-sewn along both edges with a matching thread; glue is quicker but it stiffens the braid and shows through a fine linen. At corners, mitre the braid for a square finish, or ease it round a curve with small tacking stitches. Turn every raw end under before the final stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66% LI linen, 34% WO wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold by:\u003c\/strong\u003e The half metre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curtain leading edges, blinds, cushions, loose covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accent II, Mark Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Plaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Plaster","offer_id":58067504562558,"sku":"MT120\/01","price":38.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Plaster","offer_id":58067504595326,"sku":"SAMPLE-MT120\/01","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/MT120-01-tissage-plaster_06.jpg?v=1789984855","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/mark-alexander-tissage","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
