Re: Large High Count Colored Aida
I usually buy my 20 and 22 count from Ebay stores or other online shops. 22ct is easier to find in black than 20ct in my opinion, but maybe you could try searching for black jobelan or black hardanger on google? It may bring up more results for you

Re: Large High Count Colored Aida
Thank ya! I'm going to do that today and see what comes up. I've never used anything other than aida but i'm willing to go outside my box. I bought some 18ct (the smallest my store had in the size I need) yesterday and some dye, I was going to try to dye it. We will see if that works out....If I can find what you suggested I'll just keep the white for future projects.

Re: Large High Count Colored Aida
Hello!
Small question related to high count fabric: what would use it for? I have always used 14ct and in all the standard guidelines and books I usually see 14ct, but I see that many people for more advanced project use 20ct or even 22ct. What are the ups and downs for large counts?
I assume it is way more difficult to stitch on high counts...

I am a self learner who started stitching in high school. After years of break I am finally back to cross stitching, thanks to this forum!

Re: Large High Count Colored Aida
High count fabric will make your image smaller, so if you have a huge image, you don't have to have it take up a whole wall when finished. Also, with the higher counts, you can use one thread rather than 2, or even use half stitches rather than whole X's. There are many different options out there!
