Evenweave fabric, woven with the same number of threads in warp and weft. Suited for most embroidery techniques.

Original Zweigart color: Antique White
Similar to DMC 3865
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.

Before stitching	No need to wash the fabric: cotton is stable and shrinks by 1-1.5% at most. Simply neaten the edges of the cut so they do not fray
Washing after stitching	By hand, never above 30 °C, with a mild soap for delicate items; do not rub, so the threads do not bleed. Rinse in plenty of cold water

Description

Linda Schülertuch is a cotton evenweave with the same number of threads in warp and weft, so cross stitches stay square and counting works out the same way in both directions. It suits cross stitch as well as techniques that call for counting and withdrawing threads, such as hardanger and drawn thread work, on samplers, table linen borders, bags and small accessories.

Cross stitch is normally worked over two threads with two strands of stranded cotton and a size 24 tapestry needle; a single strand and a size 26 needle are enough for half cross stitch and fine details. For hardanger use pearl cotton nos. 5 and 8. Neaten the edges of the cut before you start.
