{"product_id":"threads-otavi","title":"Threads | Otavi","description":"\u003cp\u003eOtavi is a substantial textured plain from the Threads Quintessential Textures collection, built mainly from viscose and linen yarns with a touch of nylon worked in for durability. The surface has a soft, slightly nubbly hand, closer to a heavy linen than a technical cloth, and it carries no motif at all, just the texture of the weave itself. It is the kind of plain we choose when a piece of furniture needs to feel substantial rather than decorated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 66 per cent viscose, 26 per cent linen, 7 per cent nylon and 1 per cent cotton, on a 140 centimetre width, with no pattern repeat to plan around. It is rated at 50,000 rubs on the Martindale test, a genuine upholstery-grade figure, and the page also lists it for curtains. It comes in a single colourway, Parchment, a soft, warm neutral that reads close to raw linen and sits easily against stone, timber or a painted wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe tend to use Otavi on a generous sofa or a pair of wing chairs, on a window seat cushion, and as heavy curtains where the weight of the cloth helps it hang well. It pairs naturally with a Faraway print on scatter cushions or a single patterned chair, keeping the rest of the room tonal. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere being no repeat, cutting is straightforward, but this is a directional weave, so mark the pile or grain direction before your upholsterer starts and cut every panel from the same bolt to avoid visible shading. Expect the cloth to need generous seam allowances given its weight, and specify dry cleaning only; never bleach or iron it directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66% viscose, 26% linen, 7% nylon, 1% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 cm (55 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasion resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50,000 rubs (Martindale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curtains, loose and fixed upholstery, cushions\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 Textures, Threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Parchment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Threads","offers":[{"title":"Parchment","offer_id":58056239808894,"sku":"ED85372.225","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Parchment","offer_id":58056239841662,"sku":"SAMPLE-ED85372.225","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/ED85372_225.png?v=1789773032","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/threads-otavi","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
