Description: The Jocasta Collection is a richly crafted range of interior textiles designed by Sister by Studio Ashby for Yarn Collective. Known for its considered, design-led approach and commitment to sustainability, Yarn Collective has established itself as a leading British textile studio—renowned for creating timeless fabrics that fuse luxurious tactility with enduring function. With The Jocasta Collection, the studio builds on this foundation, translating designer Sophie Ashby’s distinctive design language into a characterful series of textiles rooted in global inspiration and expert craftsmanship.
The collection reflects a shared creative sensibility between Yarn Collective and Ashby—where storytelling, quality and material integrity converge. Each fabric is informed by Sophie’s personal travels across Africa, Asia and Europe, drawing on craft traditions, natural forms and cultural symbolism. Disa is a textural jacquard inspired by resilient orchids found on South Africa’s Table Mountain, woven with high-density yarns to create depth and dimension. Afua honours Ashby’s Ghanaian family heritage with a reimagined take on Kente cloth, reworked in a contemporary scale and tonal palette. Patch, an ode to kilims, brings energetic, handwoven stripes to the collection, capturing the charm of centuries-old weaving techniques in a fresh, modern form.
Every textile is developed with purpose and longevity in mind. Marci Mohair, a dense, hard-wearing velvet, offers a saturated, luxurious finish ideal for everyday upholstery, combining comfort with a quietly elevated aesthetic. Ismay Bouclé, a Yarn Collective signature, returns in a new palette and refined blend that includes recycled cotton—part of the studio’s ongoing commitment to responsible production and environmentally conscious design.
As with all Yarn Collective offerings, The Jocasta Collection balances craftsmanship and concept, offering textiles that feel rooted yet contemporary, decorative yet enduring. Suitable for upholstery, drapery and accessories, the range is ideal for both residential and commercial interiors. The collection speaks to the creative possibilities that emerge through meaningful collaboration. Ashby’s layered, emotive aesthetic is perfectly matched by Yarn Collective’s dedication to craft and material storytelling. The result is a confident and versatile collection offering designers and specifiers a richly expressive toolkit for creating timeless spaces.
The Jocasta Collection celebrates more than textile design—it exemplifies what happens when vision, artistry and craft come together with integrity. From bold statement fabrics to subtle, enduring staples, this is a collection made to last—in story, in substance and in style.
