Vintage Cloth - Farmhouse by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet

The weave is so much softer than any other Aida I've worked with—it feels like linen but still gives you that satisfying grid for cross-stitch. I've already cut into it for a sampler and the threads slide through without fraying at all.

The feel of this cloth is genuinely softer than standard Aida, yet it still holds its shape perfectly for stitching. I'm half done with a detailed floral pattern and the threads lay flat without any puckering.

I’m usually a bit wary of cross-stitch cloth that claims to mimic linen, but this one actually delivers—the fabric has that nice, soft hand without any stiffness. I’m halfway through a farmhouse pattern and the threads slide through smoothly, which makes stitching so much more enjoyable.
