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

Perl-Aida is a cotton Aida with clearly defined blocks that are easy to count, even in poor light. It suits beginners, stitching with children and anyone who would rather not work with a magnifier: the open holes guide the needle and a project grows quickly – framed pictures, samplers, cushions, bags, Christmas decorations and borders on towels and bibs.

Full cross stitches normally take three strands of stranded cotton, two for a lighter look and one for backstitch; perle cotton no. 5 and other heavier threads work well too. Stitch with a size 22 or 24 tapestry needle, with or without a hoop, and leave at least 5 cm of spare fabric around the design for finishing.
