AIDA COTON 5.5PTS/CM 110*5M

Ideal for getting started in the art of cross stitch, this ecru Aïda DMC fabric is suitable for both beginners and more experienced embroiderers. Its regular, easily identifiable weft allows you to count stitches effortlessly and faithfully reproduce all embroidery charts, from the smallest motif to the most elaborate project.

This canvas is made from 100% cotton , a natural material appreciated for its hold and softness to the touch. It has a count of 5.5 stitches/cm (i.e. 14 threads per inch), an ideal density which offers a good compromise between speed of execution and precision of the pattern. Offered in 110 cm wide and sold by 5 m , it is suitable for both small creations and large works such as tablecloths, cushions or decorative paintings. Its soft and natural ecru color matches most embroidery thread palettes and lends itself particularly well to classic, country or vintage designs.

• Use a drum or an embroidery frame to keep the canvas taut and facilitate the passage of the needle.
• Always count your stitches from the center of the canvas to balance your pattern across the entire work.
• Lightly iron the canvas before starting to remove the creases caused by the roll packaging.
• Combine this ecru canvas with colored threads for a contrasting and bright look, or with natural tones for a soft effect.

To complete your embroidery kit, consider suitable embroidery needles, Mouliné Spécial or Coton Perlé DMC threads, as well as a drum of the size corresponding to your work. These creative haberdashery essentials will allow you to bring your cross stitch projects to life in the best conditions, from the simplest to the most refined.
