Rustico Aida 70

The best-known cross stitch weave

the price indicated for this product will be applied only if you confirm your order within ::

Rustico Aida, 18 count (70thr/cm.). 44% Cotton, 39% Viscose, 17% Linen
Cut of 50 × 55 cm; multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price.
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.

Before stitching	If the finished piece will be washed, wash the fabric first: the linen and viscose in the blend can shrink slightly. For work that is only going to be framed, pre-washing can be skipped.
Washing after stitching	Never above 30 °C, with a mild soap for delicates, without rubbing so the threads do not bleed; rinse in plenty of cold water.
Drying and pressing	Remove excess water by rolling the fabric in a clean towel and pressing, never wringing; dry flat, in the shade, away from heat sources. Press while still slightly damp, always from the back, with a soft folded towel under the embroidery so the stitches are not flattened.
Sold as	Cut of 50 × 55 cm (19.7 × 21.7 in); multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price

Description

Zweigart's Rustico Aida blends cotton, viscose and linen: the slightly uneven yarn gives the cloth a natural, homespun look that suits country designs, primitive charts and old-style samplers. The squares are still clearly formed and easy to count, so it is worked exactly like any other Aida, with cross stitch over one square, half cross stitch and backstitch.

The fabric has enough body for cushions, bags, little pouches, book covers, framed pictures and Christmas ornaments. Two strands of stranded cotton give full coverage, while one strand is enough for backstitch and fine details. Use a size 24 or 26 tapestry needle, and wash the fabric before stitching if the finished piece is going to be laundered.
