Rustico Aida, 55 count / 10 cm. 51% Cotton, 34% Viscose, 15% 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.

Description

Rustico Aida blends cotton, viscose and linen into a fabric with a slightly uneven, slubby surface, while the woven blocks stay clearly defined and easy to count. The rustic look suits samplers, country-style decorations, small bags, cushions, towel bands and framed pieces.

Cross stitch is usually worked with two strands of stranded cotton, one strand for backstitch and fine detail; pearl cotton no. 8 gives a heavier line. Use a size 24 tapestry needle, with or without a hoop. The cut edges fray, so zigzag or tape them before starting and leave a margin around the design for framing or making up.

Canvas very rustic! And for this reason ... beautiful! The paintings such as this are versatile, can be used for many different projects. The country definitely embroidery, embroidery in alpine style, but also the embroidery medieval themed type heraldic subjects (symbols with griffins, eagles, dragons in red or cobalt blue) that become wonderful banners to be hung unframed. Or to realize the magnificent family trees as "Mother's Tree" Lavender & Lace. But also to achieve more beautiful sampler with ancient alphabets, Gothic or Renaissance style where the letters - to achieve a bit 'dark colored - with the help of this raw canvas, the sampler will give a gloomy and austere appearance. And even a good poem, enclosed by a simple two-tone Greek, though will have as a background a canvas like this, it will become an "important" framework that will seem to arrive from the past. Very pleased with my purchase. Cinzia.
