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

Zweigart 1006 is a coarse cotton Aida with clearly formed blocks and open holes, so the needle slips through easily and the squares can be counted at a glance. It suits beginners, projects stitched with children and anyone who would rather work without a magnifier.

Designs come out large, which makes it a good choice for Christmas decorations, bags, cushions, banners and big alphabets. Four to six strands of stranded cotton cover the block well; perle cotton no. 3 or no. 5 and tapestry wool also work, with a size 20 or 22 tapestry needle. The fabric is firm enough to stitch in the hand, without a hoop. Work out the finished size before cutting.
