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

Lugana is an evenweave of cotton and modal: soft to the touch, with enough body to be worked in the hand or in a hoop, and with the slight sheen the modal gives it. The weave is easy to count, which makes it practical for table linen, samplers, cushions, small framed pieces, pouches and finishing details.

Cross stitch is usually worked over two threads with two strands of stranded cotton, one strand for backstitch and fine detail; perle cotton no. 8 also works well. Use a size 24 or 26 tapestry needle, which slips between the threads without splitting them. Half cross stitch, blackwork, Assisi work and simple drawn thread borders suit it too. Allow at least 5 cm of spare fabric on every side for mounting.
