ANTIQUE WHITE 32 COUNT BELFAST LINEN FABRIC Belfast linen fabric is ideal for counted embroidery such as Blackwork and cross-stitch. The fabric has a natural look as the threads of the fabric are not even. This makes is slightly harder to see the holes in the fabric as the holes vary in size. Experienced embroiderers love the look of linen fabric as it does not have the orderliness of even weave fabric giving the embroidery a romantic rustic look. The Belfast linen has a slightly smoother surface compared to Cashel linen. I use the belfast linen fabric for my Blackwork Chickadee Kit, the Blackwork Fuchsia Kit, the Blackwork Etui Box Kit and the Blackwork Meets Cross-Stitch Designs Antique White 32 Count Belfast Linen fabric is 55 inches (137 cm) wide.

32 COUNT MONIKA FABRIC 32 cotton MoniKa fabric (from Austria) is 50% cotton and 50% Modal (fibre made from beech wood) and is ideal for counted embroidery such as Blackwork and cross-stitch. The fabric has even weave threads so that stitches/patterns will work out more regular than on an uneven weave such as linen fabric. It has a nice smooth surface so that when the embroidery is complete the viewer sees the embroidery and is not distracted by the fabric. Monika fabric is from the same manufacturer that used to make the Etamin Fabric. The threads of the Monika fabric are thicker than the etamin fabric making the holes in the fabric smaller. The upside is that the Monika fabric is slightly stiffer and more durable than the Etamin fabric.

SOUTHERN BELLE 100% COTTON MUSLIN FABRIC Southern Belle Muslin fabric (Calico in European terms) is a 100% cotton fabric. This wonderful fine quality muslin fabric has a 220 thread count (regular muslin fabric thread count starts at 70) and makes an ideal ground fabric for needle painting and other forms of free form embroidery. I use the southern belle fabric in my needle painting kits. The warp and weft threads are closely woven allowing for very precise stitching. The fabric is soft and smooth to the feel, has no brown specks or slubs as in some muslins and has a very consistent weave unlike some broad cloths. There is very little stretch to the fabric so when pulled tight in a stretcher bar frame the fabric does not easily pucker and is firm enough to be used without a backing fabric. The muslin fabric can be also used as a supporting fabric for the Goldwork and silk fabric embroidery projects. The fabric does not shrink after washing and keeps the same soft feel. (The fabric does not come washed). The muslin fabric is 44 inches (110 cm ) wide and can be purchased in yards, half yards or individual pieces. COLOUR Light Cream, speckless and slubless.
