Classic fabric for cross stitch embroideries.

100% cotton
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.

Before stitchingPre-washing is not needed: cotton is stable and shrinkage stays within 1-1.5%. Overcast or zigzag the raw edges of the cut
Washing after stitchingBy hand, never above 30 °C, with a mild soap for delicates; do not rub, so the threads do not bleed, then rinse in plenty of cold water
Drying and ironingRemove excess water by rolling the fabric in a clean towel and pressing, without wringing; dry flat, in the shade. Press from the back, with a soft folded towel under the embroidery so the stitches are not flattened

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.

I bought this fabric thinking it had greyish tones, like the photo, but i received a ecru fabric with flecks of gold. Beautiful, but not like in the picture, as i had it planned for a project.

Hi and thanks for reporting this, because it gives us the opportunity to further underline that colors can be displayed very differently from what they actually are, according to different monitors, unfortunately :-( We\'re really sorry that your monitor displayed it with greyish tones, rather that with its actual \"sandy\" tones :-( For any future purchase, we will be glad to give you a precise description of the actual color of any fabric you may select: please, just email us before completing your order and we will be happy to assist you and avoid any future frustration, that we definitely understand ;-)
Warm regards.

beautiful canvas, slightly "aged", seems an ancient parchment. Lends itself to any type of work, I have used for a woman's face, in shades of gray, it looks like a charcoal. In my opinion, it would be fine for an embroidery with ancient written as a motto or a family tree. It could also be used for an autumn landscape or for a floral embroidery. So, off to the imagination, the fabric deserves enthusiasm!
