AIDA 5.5PTS/CM-14CT-110CM*5M COULEURS

This DMC 14 ct (5.5 pts/cm) Aida canvas provides a solid foundation for all your cross stitch and stem stitch embroidery projects. The very dark blue-green color 500 creates a deep background that highlights light and bright patterns, while allowing for contrast with warm tones. Available in rolls 110 cm wide by 5 meters, this canvas guarantees continuity of texture and color over the entire length of your creations.

Produced by DMC since 1746, Aïda fabric is distinguished by its regular weft and its well-defined warp and weft squares. With a count of 14 points per centimeter, it offers an ideal balance between precision of detail and maneuverability. The weave is tight enough to accommodate fine stitches without leaking the canvas, while remaining accessible to embroiderers of all levels. This 100% cotton canvas supports multiple needles without becoming fragile.

The 5 meter roll format is suitable for cutting small frames (10 x 10 cm) as well as more ambitious projects such as decorative tablecloths or wall panels. The width of 110 cm allows you to create imposing works without having to assemble several strips.

• Thread your needle with a single strand for fine details and stem stitch; two strands are enough for standard cross stitch solids.
• Before starting, wash your canvas in cold water to remove the industrial finish and soften the fibers.
• Use an embroidery frame or a drum to maintain regular tension and avoid deformation over sessions.
• Blue-green 500 accepts overstitching in white, ivory, pearl gray and pastel tones for a marine gradient effect.
• Preserve your stitches by working in sections of 10 x 10 cm rather than over the entire surface at once.

Combine this canvas with DMC Mouliné Spécial embroidery threads or Coton Perlé n°5 for marine or geometric patterns. The shades of ocean blue, turquoise and pure white go particularly well with this deep and structuring background. A 5 meter roll is a lasting investment to build your canvas stock and respond to projects that arise.
