Embroidery fabric made of cotton with squares similar to Aida (about 5,1 stitches / cm.). Each square is 47 x 47 stitches.
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

Loiret is a cotton fabric with the structure of Aida, woven in squares that are framed by bands of plain weave: a motif stitched inside each block comes with its own border and needs no extra finishing. It works well for modular projects — place mats, table runners, cushion fronts, bags, cot blankets — and for beginners or for stitching with children, since the blocks are large and easy to count.

Cross stitch over one block takes three strands of stranded cotton, two for backstitch, with a size 24 tapestry needle; perle cotton no. 8 also covers well. Plan the layout before cutting, so the woven lines fall where hems and seams are wanted.
