What Kinds of Cross Stitch Fabrics are Available?

We offer 2 types of high-quality fabrics for cross stitching:  aida and linen. Each fabric has its own characteristics, helping you create a successful cross stitch project.

What is the Difference Between Aida and Linen?

The difference between the fabrics is simple.

  • Aida is woven with a stiff grid that makes it easy to count stitches. 
  • Linen for cross stitch is an evenweave fabric that has a uniform structure, which makes it easy to create perfect square stitches.

Linen tends to be for more experienced cross stitchers because it requires more precise counting and advanced techniques.

Which Cross-stitch Fabric is Best for Beginners?

The best cross stitch fabric for beginners is aida cloth. Aida is easy to work with, making it the easiest to begin your cross stitching journey with. Its clear grid structure lets you see exactly where to place your needle and makes counting stitches simple. The only mistake you’re likely to make is missing a stitch in the pattern or accidentally stitching the wrong color somewhere.
