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

Brittney is an evenweave fabric in a cotton and modal blend: the modal gives it a soft handle and a slight sheen, while the regular weave makes the threads easy to count. Worked over two threads, cross stitch comes out the same size as on 14 count Aida, and the fabric also takes half cross stitch, backstitch, blackwork, Hardanger and small drawn thread borders – samplers, small framed pieces, ornaments, cushions and table linen.

Two strands of stranded cotton over two threads give full coverage; one strand is enough for backstitch and fine details. Mount the fabric in a frame or hoop and leave a generous margin around the design for finishing.
