Elegant cotton blend

From: Zweigart

A hyper-regular evenweave, with the same number of threads (about 14 per cm) in both warp and weft: that's why it is ideal for any counted embroidery technique - from cross stitch, to openwork and drawn-thread projects - for a very fine result.
52% pure cotton and 48% modal: a natural fiber that is derived from beech wood pulp and gives this fabric a smooth and very stable hand.
Cut of 50 × 70 cm; multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price.
Original Zweigart color: Black
Similar to DMC 310
Please note: natural fabrics such as linen and cotton are dyed in batches and come in different counts (with more or fewer threads per 1 cm in the case of linen and evenweaves, and more or fewer squares per 10 cm in the case of Aida). Different production batches and different counts may show color variations, even when the fabric is under the same color name. In the textile industry, this is considered completely normal, especially for so-called “vintage” or antiqued fabrics. Therefore, if your project requires a specific shade, we invite you to contact us before placing your order, also because the online image is purely indicative and may appear very different from reality, depending on the display which it is viewed on.

Description

Modena is an evenweave in a cotton and modal blend: the modal, made from beech wood cellulose, gives it a smooth hand and a soft sheen, while the regular weave makes the threads easy to count accurately. It is a fine fabric, suited to small-scale work such as samplers, framed pieces, biscornus and borders on small mats and towels.

Cross stitch is usually worked over two threads with one strand of stranded cotton; two strands give fuller coverage, while half cross stitch or stitching over one thread calls for a single strand of a fine thread. Use a size 26 tapestry needle. A frame helps keep an even tension, and the fabric also takes drawn thread work and pulled thread stitches well.
