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

Aida is a sound starting point for cross stitch: the weave groups the threads into clear blocks with well-defined holes, so every stitch has its own square and there is no need to work over two threads as on evenweave. It suits framed pieces, samplers, bookmarks, Christmas ornaments, bibs, bags and cushion fronts.

Two strands of stranded cotton are usual for the cross stitches and one strand for backstitch outlines; three strands give fuller coverage. A size 24 tapestry needle passes through the holes without enlarging them. Overcast or zigzag the edges of the cut before starting, as cotton Aida frays easily.
