Top-class needlework linen

A high quality fabric made up of 100% linen. It is an excellent fabric for cross stitching, hem stitching, drawn work & all types of counted thread work.
Cut of 50 × 70 cm; multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price.

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.

Suggested techniques	Cross stitch and half cross stitch over two threads, classic counted thread stitches, blackwork, drawn thread work and hemstitching
Before stitching	It is best to wash linen before starting: every linen shrinks by about 3% in its first wash. If the finished piece is only to be framed, you can stitch without washing. Apart from white and natural shades, never go above 35 °C
Washing after stitching	Never above 30 °C, with a mild soap for delicates (or Marseille soap), without rubbing, so the threads do not bleed; rinse in plenty of cold water
Drying and pressing	Remove excess water by rolling the linen in a clean towel and pressing, without wringing; dry flat, in the shade, away from heat sources. Press while still slightly damp, iron at a medium-hot (linen/cotton) setting, always from the back, with a soft folded towel under the embroidery so the stitches are not flattened
Sold as	Cut of 50 × 70 cm (19.7 × 27.6 in); multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price

Description

Cashel Stripes is an evenweave linen crossed by tone-on-tone woven stripes that catch the light and give rhythm to the ground without making the threads harder to count. It suits stitchers with some experience of counted thread work: samplers, borders, lettering and decorative bands, towels, small bags and bookmarks, where the stripes can be used as a guide for lining up motifs.

Cross stitch is normally worked over two threads, with one or two strands of stranded cotton depending on the coverage wanted, and a size 26 tapestry needle. Wash and press the fabric before starting, as linen shrinks in its first wash, and allow a generous margin around the design for framing or hems.
