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

Are you looking for a colorful embroidery canvas to get off the beaten track of white and ecru? This DMC Aïda canvas brings a touch of freshness to your cross-stitch projects thanks to its soft, vegetal shade, perfect for renewing your usual supports.

This canvas has a weave of 5.5 stitches per centimeter (14 count) , a count particularly appreciated for its balance between fineness of the pattern and comfort of embroidery, both for beginners and for experienced embroiderers. It is made of 100% cotton , a natural material which offers good needle hold and a beautiful regularity of weft. The fabric comes in pieces 110 cm wide by 5 m long , a generous quantity which allows you to create several works or a large project without fearing a shortage of material. Its color n°3813, Vert Lichen , brings a delicate green-blue tint which nicely highlights the DMC stranded threads, particularly in tones of green, blue and white.

Our advice for using it properly

• Use a drum or an embroidery hoop to keep the canvas taut and regularize your stitches.
• Count your tiles precisely before starting a pattern to avoid any shift during work.
• Combine this soft shade with mouliné threads in shades of water green, off-white or pearl gray for a harmonious finish.
• Remember to overcast or zigzag the edges before starting, to prevent the canvas from fraying during handling.
• This colorful canvas is suitable for large cross-stitch charts as well as small textile decorations such as bookmarks or embroidered pockets.

To accompany this Aida fabric, consider Mouliné Special DMC embroidery threads, quality embroidery needles or a suitable drum for optimal comfort. A grommet or needle threader can also prove invaluable for detailed work on this regular and colorful weft.
