Which count Aida or Evenweave should I use?

Fire - The Elements

Original blackwork design by Doodlecraft Design

Our threads have been used and loved by many stitchers working on black work and cross stitch projects.

For our Cotton Perle 12 thread, we recommend a 16 count aida, with a single strand of the cotton thread. This provides a good thread coverage of the cloth ensuring a bold colour effect. You can also use a 14 aida with great results for stitchers who prefer this size.

If you want to use our silks there are a few options. If you wish to use the thread singly, then a 18 or 20 count aida works well. However, if you want to ply up the silk and use it with 2 strands together, a 12 or 14 aida is advised.
