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

Rustico Aida has the clearly marked blocks typical of Aida, while the blend of cotton, viscose and linen gives it a slightly uneven surface and a natural, homespun look. It suits samplers, country and primitive designs, Christmas and folk motifs, and makes up well into cushions, drawstring pouches, bags, album covers and framed pieces.

Cross stitch is usually worked with two strands of stranded cotton over one block, with a single strand for backstitch and details; no. 8 perle cotton gives fuller coverage. A size 24 or 26 tapestry needle slips through the holes without enlarging them. Overcast or zigzag the edges before starting and allow at least 5 cm (2 in) of spare fabric around the design for mounting or framing.
