Betty Brown sets bands of sky blue, cream and a thin line of mustard against a deep chocolate ground. It has the crisp confidence of a striped jacket, softened by the warm, matt texture of hand woven wool.

Brown and blue feel instantly at home in a room with walnut, leather and a view of green. Lay it under a desk or a dining table, or choose the 80 x 300 cm runner to give a long hallway the look of a gentleman's club. 200 x 300 cm suits a living room, 140 x 200 cm a bedside or a study.

Racer Stripe belongs to CLOTH, the collection Layered created with London interior architect Tom Morris, founder of Morrisstudio. His English stripes borrow from Savile Row tailoring, old shop awnings and the colours of horse racing silks.

Handwoven on a pit loom in Bhadohi, India, where the weaver works the treadles below floor level. The result is a dense, flat weave in wool of about 6 mm that lies low and calm on the floor and suits underfloor heating. Handwork means small variations in size and tone. New wool sheds a little at first, which fades over time. Vacuum without a brush and treat stains with lukewarm water and a little soap, then absorb the moisture with a dry microfibre cloth. For a deep clean, choose professional flat washing.
