What size do these print at?

Each design is a seamless repeat scaled so it holds together even when cut at an arbitrary point, the way yardage actually is.

Can I get a different scene, like a vineyard or a seaside town?

Yes — the direction field takes any scene, and the same cut-anywhere structure renders it.

What are the three historic inks?

Madder red, indigo blue and black on cream — the classic copperplate toile palette.

Will a small cut piece still look intentional?

Yes — the vignette scale is kept small enough that no single cut reads as an accident, unlike a large single-scene toile.

Toile fabric by the yard: harvest, tea garden, coast

Toile fabric — A haymaking toile: two men pitching hay onto a cart, a woman carrying a jug to them, a dog asleep in the stubble, a church tower over the hedge, a fallen rake and a stone well, the groups spaced for a mid-scale repeat, copperplate toile engraving, madder red monochrome, hatched tone, printed on cream cotton

Yardage is where toile is bought by the metre and cut without mercy for cushions, a chair back or a blind, so no vignette can be so large that half of it reads as a mistake once cut. These nine render a harvest, a tea garden and a coast scene, each in three historic inks. Ask for a different scene — a vineyard, a seaside town, a country fair — and the same cut-anywhere structure carries it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
