A refined fabric made of a soft blend of 52% cotton and 48% modal. Modal is a natural textile fiber derived from beechwood, giving the cotton added stability and consistency. Perfect for cross-stitch and other embroidery techniques, this fabric has approximately 14 threads per square centimeter, both in the weft and the warp.
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

Milana is an evenweave fabric in a cotton and modal blend: modal, a fibre made from beechwood, gives the cloth a soft handle and a smooth, regular thread, so the weave stays easy to read even at a fine count. It suits counted thread embroiderers working small, detailed designs – samplers, framed pieces, ornaments and favours, as well as mats, cushions and small sewn accessories.

Cross stitch is usually worked over two threads with one strand of stranded cotton and a size 26 tapestry needle; two strands give fuller coverage. The fabric also takes half cross stitch, backstitch, blackwork and drawn thread work. Cut it along the straight grain and overcast the edges before starting.
