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

Murano Carré is a version of Murano (also known as Murano Lugana) with a check pattern woven into the ground: the weave stays even and easy to count, while the squares act as a guide for placing borders, small motifs and lettering. Zweigart also suggests using it unstitched, for backings, linings and finishing. It suits tablecloths, runners, place mats, cushions, little bags and samplers.

Cross stitch is usually worked over two threads, with one or two strands of stranded cotton depending on the coverage wanted, and a size 24 or 26 tapestry needle; one strand is enough for half cross stitch and backstitch. The soft handle of the cotton and modal blend also works well for drawn thread work and hardanger. There is no need to wash it before stitching.
