Classic fabric for cross stitch embroideries.

Cut of 50 × 55 cm; multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price.
Easy Count is a counting help which is incorporated in the fabric and which disappears after washing.
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.

Description

Easy Count Aida is a cotton fabric with clearly defined squares and a grid of printed lines that divides the surface into blocks of ten stitches: counting follows the chart without basting guidelines, which helps on large designs, on charts with many colour changes and when you are new to counted work.

Cross stitch is worked over one square, usually with two strands of stranded cotton for the crosses and one strand for backstitch, using a size 24 tapestry needle that slips through the holes without enlarging them. Beads, narrow ribbons and decorative stitches work well on it too. The grid washes out once the embroidery is finished; allow at least 5 cm beyond the design for framing and finishing.
