22 Count Black Aida

[Ernie2jess]

Does anyone know of a shop(online) that sells this or something VERY comparable. I cannot find it at my local craft stores but I do know that it exists because I've gotten it before a shop called the Stitching Post in a town a few miles from here. i just don't want to travel back and forth..would rather buy it by the yard.

I have found 22ct aida very hard to find -- most of what is advertised as such is in fact 22ct hardanger (the softer stuff). If that is what you are after, then Tandem Cottage sell it for £13.25 per meter here; fat quarters are also available.
Hope this helps!

Edit:
They are UK based, so not sure what postage to the US would be, but I know their postage in the UK is very reasonable indeed at a maximum of 95p per order, so it may be worth asking.

Jessica have you looked in the Internet Site thread there are some links to 3 or 4 sites that sell only fabric Silkweaver and Sugar Maple both come to mind and the links are in the thread over there.

Thanks Mabel and Rose,
I've gone through the sites and I can't seem to find any 22 count aida but I have found 22 count hardanger. Is that pretty close to the same thing?

I believe that hardanger and aida are extremely similar, both being the same weave type.

Sorry can't help with this one as I have no idea about hardanger have not tried that craft.

Hi Jess,
Hardanger fabric is practically the same as 22ct aida, except that it is softer; aida is quite stiff, hardanger feels more like evenweave fabric in that respect, but the weave looks exactly like the 22ct aida.

thanks everyone...now I do understand. The little shop was actually selling me hardanger fabric anyways, so now since I know that it is hardanger I can search online and buy it. Again, thanks for everyone's help.
