Brittney is an evenweave fabric in a cotton and modal blend, soft to handle and with a slight sheen: the threads are easy to count even in pale shades, and the Easy Count version carries a printed grid that divides the fabric into ten-stitch squares, handy for transferring a chart and keeping your place on large projects.
It suits samplers, table linen, runners, cushions, bags and small accessories. Cross stitch over two threads gives about 14 stitches to the inch, so use one strand of stranded cotton for a light finish and two for fuller coverage. The grid washes out, so choose colourfast threads, and leave at least 5 cm (2 in) of margin around the design for framing and finishing.
