Christmas Aida This 14 count, 100% combed cotton Aida pack contains 11 pieces of Aida in white, peach, green, red, black, starlite gold, starlite green & starlite blue (each measuring 12 x 18 (30.5 x 45.7cm)). Woven & finished in the USA by MCG Textiles Inc. Each piece is great for many colourful cross stitch projects. The count size refers to how many holes there are per inch of fabric. These pieces have 14 holes per inch, which is ideal for all your cross stitching needs. The higher the count the smaller the stitches. If you would like to work out what size fabric you need for your charted design. Count how many squares there are in each direction of your chart & divide by the count of your fabric. For large projects we would suggest that you leave a 5 margin in each direction for stretching, framing or finishing. There is nothing worse than working on a project only to find that the design will not fit on your piece of fabric! All Aida is woven from threads grouped in bundles to form a square pattern on the fabric, which in turn creates the holes. These holes direct you to where the needle should be inserted & the straightness of the fabric therefore is very important for the design of the pattern. MCG Textiles have been manufacturing the finest top quality needlework fabrics for over 35 years. They use only the finest machines available, to ensure straightness, hole count & consistency of colour. The Aida is proudly woven in the USA from 2 ply 100% cotton yarns which have been grown in America. ...
