DMC Aida 16 ct. Canvas

Classic Aida canvas from the manufacturer DMC in 16 count. This is a cotton foundation typically used for cross-stitch and half-cross-stitch embroidery. The white color is a basic and versatile background that makes all shades of embroidery floss clearly visible.

Features of Aida 16 ct canvas:

• Structure: The fabric has a stiff weave with clearly defined squares. This makes it easy to find the holes for inserting the needle and to keep count of the stitches while working.
• Density: 16 count (6 stitches per 1 cm) is a middle ground between large-count canvas and fine foundations. The design turns out detailed, but the stitching process does not require as much eye strain as working with 18 count.
• Material: Made of 100% cotton. The fabric holds its shape and is easily secured in an embroidery hoop or frame.

💡 Tip from Crazy Cross Stitch: For 16-count canvas, it is standard practice to cross-stitch with 2 strands of embroidery floss. For comfortable work with this fabric, tapestry needles with a blunt tip in size 24 or 26 are best suited.
