Aida cloth is manufactured with various size spaces or holes between the warp and weft to accommodate different thicknesses of yarn or thread. These are described in count. For example, 10-count aida cloth has 10 holes per linear inch. Typical sizes are 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 18 count. Traditional colours are white, ecru, or shades of tan and brown, although brighter colors are also available.
Aida cloth has a tendency to fray and often needs hemming before use. It should never be laundered prior to craft work and tends to contract 1/2" to 1/4" when the finished item is washed in soap and water. Hand washing improves the appearance of finished cross-stitching.
