It looks like a double canvas -- is it quite stiff? and what sort of count is it?

I'm with Serinde-Congress Cloth probably 24ct.
Waste canvas tends to have blue lines running through it.

The waste canvas I have used didn't have blue lines, and the congress cloth had smaller holes.

Definitely not Congress cloth as it's a double canvas. Not waste canvas either by the look of it, it's too solid -- I would think it's a needlepoint canvas, which would be great for those beautiful geometric canvaswork designs, mig-3 did some of them I remember.
Don't throw it even if no-one here wants it -- either work out the count (measure one inch and count the number of double threads) and sell it on eBay, or donate it to your local charity shop -- some stitcher is bound to want it!

Of course it is hard to tell in a picture but it looks like the 18 or 20 ct waste tha I have used. Niether of those have the blue lines in it. No don't throw it away it can be used for different project some one may need or want it.

Don't worry, TonyStitcher sent me a message, so I sent him it. Before someone else uses it than be binning it, so I hope its what he was looking for.


Thanks for helping me decide what it was
