Curling 100% Irish Linen

Curling is a game most of us know by watching rather than playing. It arrives every few years, usually via the Olympics, and suddenly everyone has an opinion. It looks gentle and slightly odd at first stones sliding slowly, people sweeping furiously until you realise how exact it all is. A game of patience, judgement and quiet drama, best enjoyed from the sofa.

The pattern takes its cue from that slow glide across the ice. Rounded forms drift through the repeat, with lines that feel measured but not strict. Drawn by hand and printed from woodcut blocks, there’s a lightness to it controlled, but never cold.

Curling is designed to work confidently on its own. It suits curtains, blinds and upholstery where a calmer pattern is needed, bringing movement without fuss and a sense of ease to the room.

STORY BEHIND CURLING

Part of Annika Reed Studio’s Games collection, Games explores the idea of play, learned or invented, structured or free, passed from one person to another. Some games feel familiar, others less so, yet all share a gentle rhythm of turns, focus, and trying again.

Each pattern turns that sense of order and chance into cloth: repeats, shifts, and balanced compositions. Nostalgic but not time bound, the collection feels playful, grounded, and easy to live with at home.
