I have a friend who’s recently started doing counted cross-stitch. She’s completed a couple of projects and is itching to try a new one. She’s envisioning linen cocktail-sized napkins.
\nAnyone have the 411 on a good source for the linen for this kind of project? We went to the craft store — the pre-made napkins were too large (and had tatty lace around the edges.) There was some ivory-colored Irish linen (32 count); I think she’s looking for something with a larger count (if that’s possible) and perhaps a truer white color.
\nRecommendations for catalogs, websites, embroidery shops in the DC Metro area, etc would be received and passed on with gratitude.
\nThanks in advance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
