This licensed William Morris Merton Blue design was first produced in 1888. Merton is, named after Merton Abbey which William Morris acquired in June 1881 for his workshops for his company Morris & Co. The Abbey complex included buildings for textile printing and stained glass making plus fabric, tapestry and carpet weaving. The fact this beautiful design was named after such an important milestone in Morris’ life - acquiring the mill and all he created from that, makes it a really important and well loved Morris design.
Just like all our fabric, Merton 100% cotton was printed in the United Kingdom.
Our William Morris Merton has been printed onto 152 cm wide cotton with a 2.5cm salve edge on either side. The pattern repeat is 35cm. For the fabric length, it's sold by the half metre, so you can choose your length using the drop down above. If you order more than 0.5m in the same order, it will be sent as a continuous length.
