What Does Fabric Count Mean?
Fabric count (ct, count, or mesh size) refers to the number of holes or squares per inch. The higher the count, the smaller and finer the stitches: • 14 count (14ct, 14-count) - 14 holes/squares per inch (~5.5 per cm / 2.16 per inch) • 16 count (16ct, 16-count) - 16 holes/squares per inch (~6.3 per cm / 2.5 per inch) • 18 count (18ct, 18-count) - 18 holes/squares per inch (~7.1 per cm / 2.8 per inch) • 20+ count - For advanced stitching with even finer detail
Choosing the Right Fabric • Lower count fabrics (14ct-16ct) - Larger stitches, easier to work with, great for beginners. • Medium count fabrics (18ct-22ct) - More detail, slightly smaller stitches, popular for advanced projects. • Higher count fabrics (25ct-32ct) - Extremely fine detail, often used for evenweave and linen stitching with fractional stitches.
Types of Fabrics Available • Aida Fabric - Stiff, grid-like structure, best for counted cross-stitch. • Evenweave Fabric - Softer, more flexible, ideal for detailed embroidery and fractional stitches. • Linen - Natural texture, commonly used for high-count projects (28ct-32ct).
