Fabrics Suitable for Celtic Cross Stitching

Aida is a good option for beginners as this is 100 percent cotton fabric. It is a good option for those with weak eyesight as well since the pores in this fabric are large. You can also use linen which is as popular as Aida. In Linen however the pores are more comparatively which could pose a problem for novices. Among the varieties of linen Jobelan is a mixture of cotton and modal which is easier to handle. Zweigart Linda is another variety which has a mixture of cotton and synthetic which gives the fabric longevity. Belfast and Cashel linens are extremely soft to use. However, you could also use stitching paper which is normally given to kids which are punctured or punched. The stitching paper can be folded or twisted and excellent for making book marks and file covers.
