Price is for a cut of 1mt. x 120cm.
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.

Product type	Heavy jute fabric for decorative embroidery and creative textile work, sold by the cut; Zweigart points out that the weave is not square and is therefore not suitable for counted thread embroidery
Brand and article	Zweigart – art. 3926/30, Edelrupfen
Composition	100% jute
Count	4.9 threads per cm (12 count), approximate: the weave is not regular in both directions
Width	120 cm (47 in)
Colour	Natural
Closest DMC colour	612 (approximate)
Suggested techniques	Free surface stitching, large-scale motifs, appliqué, creative sewing and making bags, pouches and decorations
Before stitching	Do not wash: use the jute as it is. Overlock or tape the cut edges, as they fray easily; creases from the roll can be pressed out on the wrong side
Washing after stitching	Best avoided: jute shrinks, stiffens and can release colour. Spot-clean by dabbing with a barely damp cloth and mild soap, without rubbing
Drying and ironing	Dry flat, in the shade and away from heat sources; press on the wrong side at a medium setting, with a folded soft towel under the embroidery so the stitches are not flattened
Sold as	Cut of 100 × 120 cm (39.4 × 47.2 in); multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price

Description

Edelrupfen is a heavy, coarse jute with an open weave and a rustic look. Zweigart lists it for creative textile work and decorative embroidery: the weave is not perfectly square, so it is not a dependable ground for accurate counted thread work, while it suits free stitching, large motifs, appliqué and making bags, pouches, cushions, table runners and country-style decorations.

Substantial threads work best: three strands of stranded cotton, no. 8 perle cotton or embroidery wool, with a large blunt tapestry needle (size 20 to 22). Cut edges fray readily, so finish them before starting and mount the fabric in a frame to keep an even tension; a light backing fabric helps if the piece is to be used rather than framed.
