Linen Cashel 28 count - Raw Natural

Linen Cashel 28 count - Raw NaturalLinen is a truly classic fabric for counted embroidery techniques such as cross stitch. Its similar to evenweave fabric, meaning that it may (or may not!) have the same number of threads per inch both horizontally and vertically. But what makes linen unique (and more challenging) is the different thicknesses of threads and their inherent irregularity. The natural elegance of linen may be worth the extra effort, though!
