Zweigart-Twist 10ct. (40pts/10cm.) canvas. 100% cotone.
Cut of 50 × 100 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

Twist is a cotton canvas with a leno weave: the warp threads twist around the weft, so the holes stay open and the mesh does not shift while you stitch. It is made for work that covers the ground completely — Bargello, upright Gobelin, half cross stitch and decorative filling stitches — on cushions, bags, cases, stool and chair covers, box tops and framed panels.

Coarser meshes take tapestry wool or no. 3 perle cotton; finer ones work well with perle no. 5 or four to six strands of stranded cotton and a size 24 tapestry needle. The thread should fill the hole, so test it in a corner first. Mounting the canvas on a frame keeps the work square, and cut edges can be bound with masking tape.
