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.

Drying and ironing	Remove excess water by rolling the fabric in a clean towel and pressing, never wringing; dry flat in the shade. Iron while still slightly damp, from the wrong side, with a folded soft towel under the embroidery so the stitches are not flattened

Description

Murano, also known as Murano Lugana, is a soft cotton and modal evenweave with a smooth, slightly lustrous surface. The even weave keeps counting straightforward, so it works both for stitchers moving on from Aida and for finer pieces: samplers, framed designs, table linen, cushions, biscornu and small sewn accessories.

Cross stitch is normally worked over two threads, using two strands of stranded cotton for full coverage and one strand for backstitch or half cross stitch; a size 24 tapestry needle slides between the threads without distorting them. The edges of the cut piece fray easily, so overcast or tape them before starting and mark the centre with a tacking thread.
