Description
The Foinaven duvet cover set carries a painterly landscape print, worked in the loose brushstrokes of an oil painting. Fields of heather and sweeping hillside run across the cover in mossy greens, dusky pinks and soft neutrals, with a paler sky reading along the top edge. It is made from 100% slub cotton, a yarn spun with a slightly irregular thickness so the woven surface has gentle texture and the natural, linen-like handle the supplier describes. Cotton is breathable and easy to launder, which is what you want against you through the night. This listing is the double; the range also runs up to super king.
It suits a bedroom that leans towards muted, country tones, and the print sits happily with painted headboards, wooden furniture and the greens and heathery mauves already in the scene. Because the pattern is busy and atmospheric rather than sharp and graphic, it reads as calming rather than loud, and it will forgive a room that already has a lot going on. Layer it with plain linens in cream or stone to let the print do the work, or pick out one of the softer colours from the design for your pillowcases and throws.
The cover is finished with a piped trim around the edge, a stitched cord that gives the seam a crisp, defined line and helps the cover hold its shape after washing. It closes with buttons, so the duvet stays put once it is inside. Being pure cotton, it washes and dries straightforwardly and only softens with use. The double set includes one cover and two pillowcases. Iron it slightly damp if you like a smooth finish, or shake it out straight from the line for a more relaxed, lived-in look that suits the painterly design.

Frequently Asked
What is slub cotton and how does it feel?
Slub cotton is woven from yarn with a deliberately uneven thickness, which gives the surface a subtle texture and a soft, natural handle close to the feel of linen.
How does the duvet cover close?
It fastens with buttons along the opening, which keeps the duvet securely in place inside the cover and stops it shifting around during the night.
What is included in the set?
The double set comes with one duvet cover and two pillowcases. Larger sizes are also available if you need to match a king or super king bed.
Does the piped trim need special care?
No, the stitched piped edge is part of the seam and needs no extra attention. It simply gives the cover a defined outline and helps it keep its shape.
Will the print work in a busy bedroom?
Yes, the soft, atmospheric brushstrokes read as calm rather than bold, so the design settles into a room easily and pairs well with plain cream or stone linens.
Is this cover pure cotton?
Yes, it is made from 100% slub cotton, so it is breathable, easy to launder and tends to soften the more you use and wash it.
