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.

Washing after stitching	Never above 30 °C, with a mild soap for delicate items, without rubbing, so that the threads do not bleed; rinse in plenty of cold water.
Drying and pressing	Remove the excess water by rolling the fabric in a clean towel and pressing down, without wringing; dry flat, in the shade, away from any heat source. Press on the wrong side while still slightly damp, with a folded soft 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

Klostern is a coarse block-weave fabric with wide holes and clearly separated blocks: the squares can be counted at a glance, even in poor light, which makes it a sensible choice for beginners, for children and for anyone who would rather stitch without a magnifier. It is soft to handle but firm enough for cushions, Christmas stockings, small wall hangings and large-scale samplers.

Thick threads are needed to cover the blocks: tapestry wool, pearl cotton no. 3 or 5, or six strands of stranded cotton, worked with a size 20 or 22 tapestry needle. Stitching grows quickly, so it suits gifts and projects with a deadline. Allow at least 5 cm (2 in) of spare fabric on every side for framing and finishing.
