It's an even-weave like linen, but it has the stiffer feel and larger squares like Aida. That's my primary stitching fabric choice, because it's easier to stitch over-1 on it, and I like the delicate look.

I like www.abcstitch.com as well.<BR/>Check them out. You can also buy linen for x st and dye yourself.<BR/>Only difference in stitching on linen is you are stitching over 2 threads not one as in AIDA - also check out youtube for demos. Once you try it you may never go back to aida. I haven't . Start with 28 count and a light color fabric. <BR/>Hope this helps<BR/>VanessaVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694614504052464898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305822349655478276.post-17906268841027537672009-03-04T05:52:00.000-08:002009-03-04T05:52:00.000-08:00Happy Birthday!!!

LOL.<BR/>I am new to the world of stitching and have been browsing various blogs to try and gain some knowledge and get some tips / ideas. I originally started with a stamped, then counted “kits”. I’m working on my 2nd chart and have noticed some big differences in floss types and quality.<BR/>My Cross Stitch Mentor has told me that I’m ready to graduate from Aida, but I really like Aida. Maybe it’s just beginner’s comfort???<BR/>If you would answer my question… What type of fabric or fabrics do you prefer and why? Brands and counts?<BR/>I would appreciate any advice, thanks!Craft-i-leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795912257572903966noreply@blogger.com
