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

Aida extra fine is the finest Aida in the Zweigart range: the squares are small but clearly defined, so counting stays straightforward even on detailed charts. It suits miniatures, cards, bookmarks, small framed pieces and ornaments, and anyone who wants fine detail without moving to an evenweave.

Work one cross stitch over each square, using one strand of stranded cotton – two for fuller coverage on dark shades – and a size 26 tapestry needle. The weave is firm and keeps its shape in the hand, so a hoop is optional; cut edges fray, so zigzag or overcast them before starting.
