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

Sulta is a cotton fabric woven in pairs of threads, with the same thread count in warp and weft: the squares are easy to follow and threads withdraw cleanly, without fraying the weave. It is the fabric for Hardanger work — kloster blocks, drawn thread fillings and cutwork — and it also takes cross stitch over two threads, half cross stitch, blackwork and counted thread stitches in general.

Kloster blocks are usually worked in no. 5 pearl cotton, with no. 8 or no. 12 for the filling stitches; for cross stitch one or two strands of stranded cotton are enough, used with a size 24 tapestry needle. The weave stays square in a hoop or frame, so allow a few centimetres of spare fabric all round the design for mounting.
