{"product_id":"threads-chert","title":"Threads | Chert","description":"\u003cp\u003eChert is a textured plain from the Threads Quintessential Naturals collection, named after a stone and woven to look like one. The linen brings a dry slub and body, the viscose a soft sheen and a fluid drape, so the cloth reads as a natural with a little more light in it than a pure linen, and the surface shifts between matte and glint as the folds turn. There is no motif; the interest is in the grain. At 145 centimetres it is slightly wider than most of the collection, which helps on larger windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 55 per cent linen and 45 per cent viscose on a 145 centimetre width, with no pattern repeat. The page lists it for curtains, and the collection is designed for curtains and blinds; there is no rub count, so it is not a seating cloth. It comes in a single colourway, Linen, a warm, mid-toned natural that suits plaster, limestone and pale oak, and reads a shade lighter under artificial light because of the viscose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe tend to use Chert for full-length curtains in a living room or bedroom where the drape matters more than pattern, and for Roman blinds in a dressing room or study where a flat panel shows the grain. It pairs well with a heavier textured weave on the sofa and with a printed cushion from the Nala Prints or the Faraway collection for a note of pattern. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no repeat, but viscose blends can shade slightly along the roll, so cut all the drops for one window from a single bolt and keep the direction of the weave consistent. Line and interline the curtains so the fluid cloth hangs in deep, even folds rather than clinging, allow a generous hem for movement, and dry clean rather than wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55% linen, 45% viscose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 145 cm (57 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curtains, blinds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not wash; dry clean professionally, do not bleach and do not iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quintessential Naturals, Threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Linen)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Threads","offers":[{"title":"Linen","offer_id":58056060404094,"sku":"ED85390.110","price":34.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Linen","offer_id":58056060436862,"sku":"SAMPLE-ED85390.110","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/ED85390_110.png?v=1789772282","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/threads-chert","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
