This 100% cotton Aida band has a scalloped edge and is ideal for bookmarks and cakebands. 11 count (42 points) - width 8cm.
Price is for a 1mt.
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's Aida band is a cotton ribbon woven with the same regular blocks as Aida fabric and finished along both edges, so it only needs cutting to length. It works for bookmarks, cake bands, jar covers, borders on towels and tablecloths, Christmas decorations and banners with names or dates; the blocks are clear and easy to count, which makes it a friendly format for beginners.

Stitch it in cross stitch and half cross stitch with stranded cotton, usually two strands for the crosses and one for backstitch, using a size 24 tapestry needle that slips between the blocks. Leave a few extra centimetres at each end for folding or attaching the band; a hoop is not needed, simply keep it taut between the fingers.
