*The only other piece you need to complete the kit is an embroidery frame of your choice to keep the fabric taught while you stitch and perhaps a frame to hang it in pride of place when it's finished. I recommend the 8" siz eofor regular kits.

What’s the difference between 14ct Aida & 28ct Evenweave?

Both these fabrics produce the same size design.

Aida is what I call, 'traditional' cross stitch fabric. If you did cross stitch as a kid, you probably did it on this. The holes are very obvious and you can clearly see where the stitches go. Aida is quite stiff and and doesn't always require a frame or hoop to stitch on.  Sticthsperation kits come with 14ct aida which means your design will have 14 stitches per inch.

Aida is great for beginners.

Evenweave may seem a little tricker as there are lots of holes, but produces a very clean background which can make the finished kit look like a print from a distance. The term evenweave applies to any fabric that is "evenly woven", so it has the same number of threads per inch in both the vertical and horizontal directions, and all the threads have the same thickness. Evenweave has more drape than aida so it's great if you want to make your finished piece into a cushion or bag. 

Stitchsperation kits come with 28ct evenweve, this means there are 28 stitches per inch if you stitch through every hole but the trick with evenweave is to stitch through every other hole, therefore getting 14 stitches per inch - the same as the aida!

You have a choice of 28ct evenweave or 14ct aida fabric (perfect for beginners) in the following colours (see images for colour examples):

• Rainbow
• Sunset
• Dawn
• Neon Pink
• Yellow
• Animal - in 3 colourways.

I paint every piece of fabric by hand so variations will occur. Colours may vary from that on the screen due to differences in computer monitor settings.
