Evenweave fabrics are “counted fabrics,” meaning you use the fabric’s thread count to determine project size—similar to Aida, but with a different weaving style. Because evenweave doesn’t have pre-defined square blocks, it can look more seamless once stitched and is often preferred for designs with subtle shading, specialty stitches, or lots of fractional stitches.

Evenweave is also a broad category that includes well-known substrates such as Lugana and Jobelan, as well as other even-thread fabrics commonly sold for counted needlework. If you love a cleaner background than Aida but aren’t ready for the irregularities of linen slubs, evenweave is a beautiful middle ground—smooth, consistent, and elegant in the hoop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Evenweave Cross Stitch Fabric

How does evenweave differ from Aida cloth?

Aida cloth has clearly defined square blocks that are easy to see and count. Evenweave, on the other hand, is made with individual threads instead of blocks, giving the finished stitching a smoother, more continuous background.

Is evenweave the same thing as linen?

Not quite. While both are counted fabrics often stitched over multiple threads, linen can have natural texture variations. Evenweave is typically chosen when stitchers want a more uniform, predictable weave without the slubs often found in linen.

What are examples of evenweave fabrics?

Common evenweaves include Lugana, Jobelan, and Monaco (names vary by brand/manufacturer and fiber blend).

What do stitchers mean when they say “evenweave”?

Evenweave is a type of counted cross-stitch fabric where the threads are woven evenly in both directions. Because the spacing is consistent, your stitches line up neatly whether you’re working horizontally or vertically.

What does “stitching over two threads” mean?

When stitching on evenweave, many stitchers place each cross stitch over two fabric threads rather than one. This helps create a comfortable stitch size and often results in a finished design that’s similar in scale to Aida projects.(e.g., 28ct over-2 ≈ 14ct Aida).

When is evenweave a good choice for a project?

Evenweave is a great option if you’re looking for:

  • A cleaner, less gridded fabric background

  • Easier placement of fractional stitches

  • A polished look that falls between Aida and linen

It’s especially popular for detailed or decorative designs.
