FABRIC

This page updated September 13, 2023.

There are a tremendous number of needlework fabrics being manufactured at the present time. Our favorite fabric is linen, and we try very hard to keep a good inventory of most of the available linens on hand, plus a substantial number of other fabrics on the market. However, if you are looking for a fabric that is not listed, we can special-order almost any fabric that is available (minimum quantities may apply for special orders). Please contact us for pricing and availability of fabrics that are not listed below.

We do have in stock 14, 16 and 18 count aida (and a very small amount of 20 count aida). Normally these are stocked in white, antique white and ivory, with additional colors that come and go. If you are looking for aida, please contact us for available colors and pricing.

Fabrics are sold by the yard, by fractions of a yard (such as 1/2 yard, 3/4 yard), and by the running or lineal inch. A running inch is the full width of fabric; in most cases 55" wide. Fabrics are also sold in several different precut sizes, as listed below. All measurements of cut fabrics are listed as height (selvedge edge) x width. Measurements are given in yards and inches. Approximate metric equivalents of measurements used are as follows:

SILK GAUZE

This product is used for very fine canvaswork and miniature needlework. Made of 100% silk and very sturdy, it disappeared from the market for a while, but is once again available. If you would like to read about working on silk gauze, click here. We cannot get many of the counts that were formerly available. Please note also that there is often a slight variation in count from batch to batch of silk gauze so please allow for this possibility. Canvas is 40" wide, and there will be a certain amount of waste as the canvas closest to the selvedges is often distorted. Silk gauze is available from us two ways: by the yard (you may buy any number of inches as long as you buy the full width), or in cut pieces.

It is important to have silk gauze firmly stretched to prevent distortion, and this can be done by taping it into a mat opening that you provide; or the gauze can be mounted on stretcher bars like any other type of needlepoint canvas (we would recommend the mini stretcher bars); or the gauze can be basted firmly onto a piece of scrap fabric that then can be mounted in a hoop or other type of frame, with a window cut into the scrap fabric to expose the gauze for stitching.

We sell silk gauze by the yard and in cut sizes listed below. Because we do not recommend you use the gauze closest to the selvedge, some pieces may come cut a couple of inches larger in one direction than we consider useable, so in those cases, the useable size will be listed as well as the cut size (we could just cut off the unuseable part but it may be useful to some people to keep these margins on). It also may be possible to cut in multiples of these sizes: for example, if a 9" x 9" piece isn't quite bit enough you could order a 9" x 18" piece, for twice the 9" x 9" price.

Price per yard of silk gauze, 40 count	$122.00
Price per inch (linear inch or running inch, full fabric width)	$3.50

Cut pieces of silk gauze

9" x 9"	$7.75
12" x 12"	$13.75
18" x 20" cut, 18" x 18" useable	$30.50

Other needlepoint canvas may be special-ordered. Please inquire for price and minimum quantity.
