Question
Can you please tell me what is the equivalent count in linen of 14 count aida. Thanks in advance.
Hello, Catherine :)
Unfortunately, I don't know how to answer this question for you as I don't completely understand it. Linen comes in different counts as you've got 32, 22, 28, I think 24 count, etc. Aida comes in 14, 16, 18, and 11 counts (that I know of).
If you're trying to determine the amount of stitches to the inch, it's usually 32, 22, 28, etc. to the inch with linen, and 14, 16, 18, etc. with Aida.
Hope that helps. Happy stitching! :)
Sincerely,
Angela ;)

| Comment | Thank you so much for your very prompt response. What I meant was that if I use 14 count aida would my finished pattern be the same size if I used 28 count linen. I think I now have answered my own question, if you cross-stitch over two threads of the 28 count linen you have 14 stitches which would be the same as stitching on 14 count aida. Correct? | ||

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
