Package contains a free chart.
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.

Washing and ironing after stitching	Never above 30 °C, with a mild soap for delicates and no rubbing, so the threads do not bleed; rinse with plenty of cold water, remove excess water by rolling the fabric in a clean towel and pressing, without wringing; dry flat, in the shade, away from heat sources; press while still slightly damp, on the wrong side, with a soft folded towel under the embroidery

Description

Fein-Aida is a cotton fabric woven in clearly defined blocks with open holes at the corners, so stitches sit evenly without counting individual threads. The small squares give more detail than coarser Aidas and suit busy charts, miniatures, bookmarks, cards, small framed pieces and samplers, while remaining easy to work for anyone starting out.

Cross stitch is usually worked with one strand of stranded cotton, two for fuller coverage; one strand is enough for backstitch. A size 26 tapestry needle passes through the holes without enlarging them. Each pack contains a free chart, and it is worth overcasting the edges before mounting the fabric in a hoop or frame.
