100% Davosa cotton, 71 threads / 10 cm. Ideal for hardanger
Cut of 50 × 70 cm; multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price.
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.

Description

Davosa is a pure cotton evenweave with the same number of threads in warp and weft, so threads are easy to count and to withdraw. It has a soft but firm handle, in the hand or in a hoop, and suits cross stitch, half cross stitch, backstitch, Hardanger and drawn thread work on samplers, small table linen, bags and household accessories.

Cross stitch worked over two threads gives a result close to 9 count Aida: use three strands of stranded cotton, or two strands over a single thread for finer work. For Hardanger, stitch the kloster blocks in no. 5 coton perlé and the fillings in no. 8, with a size 24 tapestry needle. The cotton is stable, so pressing the fabric before starting is usually enough.
