Cross Stitch using the best quality materials...

Aida Cloth is used as a universal cloth for cross stitch thanks to the clear and concise hole structure and special binding. The arrangement of 4 threads in warp and weft gives tiny windows which vary in size. The windows can be adjusted in size to give finer 20 count aida (that’s 20 holes per inch, and great for the more experienced cross stitch; or course aida cloth for beginners, like 6 count (that’s 6 holes to the inch). At Willow Fabrics you will find a great range of sizes and colours, from different manufactures.
