Information About

Even-weave




Even-weave fabric or Canvas is any Woven Textile where the Warp and Weft Thread s are of the same size.

Even-weave fabrics are typically required as foundations for Counted-thread Embroidery styles such as Cross-stitch , Needlepoint , and Blackwork so that a stitch of the same "count" (that is, crossing the same number of fabric threads) will be the same length whether it crosses warp or weft threads.

Even-weave fabrics include even-weave Linen , Aida Cloth , and Needlepoint Canvas .
