Question
I have been away from needle arts just long enough to come back to many changes. The main one being all the new threads, which I truly love. But how do you know how much to use per canvas? I have a 13 st canvas and vineyard silk thread. Are there new instructions out there?

Answer
HI Lizzy,
Here is a site with lots of info including a chart for thread and count.  It may be of help.

I was looking for a chart on floss strands vs fabric count but was not able to find it at this time.
