Need help with evenweave fabric

Post by shadyglade »

Okay, so I am planning my first project on evenweave and HELP!

This pattern is for a cushion I found in Cross Stitcher magazine, and the model was done on Zweigart 20 count Bellana evenweave. The only thing I've been able to find at my LNS is Zweigart 20 Count Lugana Fabric. Can anyone tell me if that will work the same as the Bellana?

Bellana is 20 ct Lugana, so you'll be fine substituting it.

"Bellana/Lugana 20 count -- Bellana (Lugana 20 count in the US) is an even-woven fabric that consists of 52% cotton & 48% rayon. It drapes nicely and is perfect for tablecloths and Hardanger embroidery."
