A superb, 28ct fabric suitable for any kind of counted-thread embroidery project and offering the elegance of linen (55%) together with the convenience of cotton (45%). It's a super-regular evenweave and therefore ideal for all stitcher who would like to finally try something different from the aida, but haven't "dared" doing so, because they think it might be too difficult to stitch without the "security" ensured by the classical aida.
Its name "Quaker Cloth" comes from the well-known Quaker Samplers, rich in many particular and colorful patterns, originally stitched on a mixed-linen cloth just like this one.
Original Zweigart color: White
Similar to DMC White.
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.

Before stitchingIt is best to wash the fabric first: all linens shrink by about 3% at the first wash. Apart from white and natural shades, never go above 35 °C. If the piece will only be framed, it can be stitched unwashed.
Washing after stitchingNever above 30 °C, with a mild soap for delicates (or Marseille soap), without rubbing, so that the threads do not bleed; rinse with plenty of cold water.
Drying and pressingRemove excess water by rolling the fabric in a clean towel and pressing, never wringing; dry flat, in the shade and away from heat sources. Press while still slightly damp, from the back, with the iron on a medium-hot setting (linen/cotton) and a folded soft towel under the embroidery.

Description

Bantry, sold here as Quaker Cloth, is an evenweave blend of linen and cotton: the linen gives the look and the slight irregularity of a natural yarn, while the cotton keeps the weave even and the threads easy to count. It suits almost every counted thread technique and works well for stitchers moving from Aida to evenweave fabrics: quaker samplers, biscornus, small framed pieces, cushions, borders for tablecloths and towels.

Worked over two threads, two strands of stranded cotton are usually enough for the crosses and one for backstitch; drawn thread work and hardanger call for perle no. 8 and no. 12, with a size 24 or 26 tapestry needle. Wash the fabric before stitching and leave a generous margin around the design for the frame and finishing.
