The most popular cross stitch fabric, easy to count yet it allows good detail.
Cut of 50 × 60 cm; multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price.
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.

Press while still slightly damp, from the back, with a folded soft towel under the embroidery

Description

Herta is a large-block Aida: the weave forms clearly defined squares with open holes, so stitches are easy to place and easy to count. It suits first cross stitch projects, stitching with children and teaching in classes and workshops, as well as quick decorations, cushion fronts, teaching samplers and seasonal trims where a bold, chunky stitch is wanted.

Because the blocks are large, heavier threads are needed: all six strands of stranded cotton, pearl cotton no. 3 or no. 5, or tapestry wool, with a size 20 or 22 tapestry needle. Full cross stitch and half cross stitch over one block both work well. Allow a few centimetres of spare fabric around the design for framing or making up.
