100% pure flax in an extre-fine linen (56ct), expressly conceived for any embroidery technique, looking for surprising elegance and for that incomparable touch of refinement and delicacy that have always been timeless.
Width: 180 cm
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.

Fall can be pink too!

Product type	Pure linen evenweave for counted thread and free embroidery, sold by the cut
Brand and article	Zweigart – Kingston, art. 3225/100
Composition	100% linen
Count	22 threads per cm each way (56 count)
Width	180 cm (71 in)
Colour	White
Suggested techniques	Cross stitch over two threads, counted thread stitches, drawn thread work and hemstitching, whitework, free embroidery
Before stitching	It is best to wash the fabric before embroidering: at the first wash every linen shrinks by about 3%. If the piece is only going to be framed, washing can be skipped. Apart from white and natural shades, never go above 35 °C
Washing after stitching	Never above 30 °C, with soap for delicates or Marseille soap, without rubbing so the threads do not bleed; rinse with plenty of cold water
Drying and pressing	Remove excess water by rolling the linen in a clean towel and pressing, never wringing; dry flat, in the shade, away from heat sources. Press while still slightly damp, iron at medium-high (linen/cotton) setting, always from the back, with a folded soft towel under the embroidery so the stitches are not flattened
Sold as	Cut of 100 × 180 cm (39.4 × 70.9 in); multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price

Description

Kingston is a closely woven evenweave linen spun from a fine, regular yarn: threads are easy to count and withdraw cleanly. It suits embroiderers with some experience of counted thread work who want small, finely finished pieces – table linen, centrepieces, bags, framed miniatures, lingerie bags and small accessories – and it also takes free embroidery, whitework and hemstitched borders.

Cross stitch worked over two threads gives about 11 stitches per centimetre, so one strand of stranded cotton or a fine silk is enough for good coverage, with a size 26 or 28 tapestry needle. Wash the linen before starting and leave a generous margin around the design for hems and finishing.
