TOILE LIN 11 FILS/CM 28 CT

Are you looking for an embroidery support that is both refined and versatile? This DMC embroidery canvas in pure linen, woven with 11 threads per centimeter (28 ct), seduces with its matte and natural appearance, particularly appreciated for traditional and timeless works. Its White Edelweiss color (n°3865) offers a luminous and soft base, perfect for highlighting points of bright color such as monochrome patterns.

Made from 100% linen , this canvas has a regular weave of 11 threads/cm , the equivalent of 28 ct according to the international numbering of embroidery canvases. It is most often worked on two warp threads and two weft threads , a technique which guarantees a fine rendering and great precision of the counted pattern. In terms of maintenance, it can be washed at 40°C with a mild detergent, ironed at moderate temperature and cannot be tumble dried or chlorinated, in order to preserve the natural beauty of linen fibers over time.

• Choose a DMC Mouliné thread in White Edelweiss color n°3865 to match the canvas for soft monochrome embroidery.
• Stretch the canvas over an embroidery hoop or loom to facilitate the passage of the needle and avoid puckering.
• Reserve this canvas for counted stitches — cross stitch, hardanger, thrown stitch — for a clean and regular result.
• Frame your finished work in a raw wooden frame to enhance the natural and slightly irregular texture of linen.
• Remember to edge the edges with a whipstitch or adhesive tape before starting, to prevent the canvas from fraying.

To complete your embroidery kit, combine this linen canvas with a selection of DMC mouliné threads, round-pointed needles suitable for counted canvases, as well as a drum or embroidery loom which will maintain regular tension in the fabric throughout your creation.
