Linen is a natural flax fiber cloth known for its subtle texture and versatility in cross-stitch and embroidery. Unlike Aida’s square weave, linen’s finer threads allow you to stitch over two threads for clean, graceful results in complex patterns. Whether you’re working on detailed samplers, classic designs, or specialty projects, our linen fabrics in counts from 28 to 36 offer the texture and quality stitchers seek. Choose from trusted options like Weeks Dye Works linen and Wichelt linen imports, available in a range of hues, hand-dyed effects, and cut sizes. Shop now to find the perfect linen for your next stitching masterpiece!

Frequently Asked Questions About Linen Cross Stitch Fabric

How do you cross-stitch on linen?

When stitching on linen, you typically:

  1. Count two fabric threads horizontally and vertically

  2. Bring the needle up through the lower left corner

  3. Stitch diagonally to the upper right

  4. Complete the X just like on Aida — but over two threads instead of holes

This technique creates beautifully even stitches with a softer, more delicate appearance.

How is linen different from Aida cloth?

Aida cloth has clearly defined square holes that make it beginner-friendly. Linen, on the other hand, has finer threads and a natural weave, requiring stitchers to count threads rather than follow visible holes. Linen produces a more refined, classic look and is often used for advanced or elegant designs.

How is linen fabric used for in cross-stitch?

Linen is a natural flax fiber fabric commonly used for counted cross-stitch, samplers, and heirloom embroidery projects. It’s prized for its fine weave, elegant texture, and ability to showcase intricate designs and detailed stitching.

Is linen harder to stitch on than Aida?

Linen can feel more challenging at first because the holes aren’t as obvious, but many stitchers find it becomes second nature with practice. Using good lighting, a hoop or frame, and a needle with a sharp tip makes stitching on linen much easier.

What do linen counts mean (28 count, 32 count, etc.)?

Linen count refers to the number of threads per inch.
Common counts include:

  • 28 count linen

  • 32 count linen

  • 36 count linen

  • 40 count linen

Most stitchers work over two threads, meaning:

  • 28 count linen stitches like 14 count Aida

  • 32 count linen stitches like 16 count Aida

  • 36 count linen stitches like 18 count Aida

What is hand-dyed linen and why would I consider using that for my cross stitch?

Hand-dyed linen is fabric that’s been dyed in small batches, creating soft color variations and mottled effects. These subtle shifts add depth and character to cross-stitch designs and are especially popular for samplers and primitive or artistic patterns.
