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 a cotton and modal evenweave with a soft handle and a smooth, slightly lustrous surface that shows embroidery threads off clearly. Cross stitch is usually worked over two fabric threads, and the weave also takes drawn thread work, pulled thread stitches, backstitch, blackwork and Hardanger: it suits table linen, samplers, cushions, needlebooks and small accessories.

Over two threads, two strands of stranded cotton cover well for cross stitch, while one strand is enough for half cross stitch, outlines and lettering; a fine perle cotton works nicely for drawn thread borders and hemstitching. A size 24 or 26 tapestry needle slips between the threads without distorting them. The weave is stable enough to stitch in hand, provided the edges are zigzagged or tacked first.
