Zweigart Murano 3984/101 is a 32-count evenweave fabric in a soft Antique White — a warm, barely-there off-white with a hint of cream. Part of Zweigart's Lugana family, Murano has a soft drape and subtle sheen that makes it a popular choice for counted cross stitch, hardanger, drawn thread work, and surface embroidery. At 32 count, each cross stitch worked over two threads produces the same stitch size as 16-count Aida — fine enough for detailed designs yet comfortable to stitch without magnification for most stitchers.

Please Note
Fabric is dyed in batches from natural fibers, so slight shade differences between dye lots can occur — even within the same color name. This is especially noticeable on vintage and antiqued tones. If your project needs several pieces in the same shade, please order them together so they can be cut from a single bolt. Keep in mind that on-screen color may also differ from the actual fabric depending on your monitor and lighting. Fabric edges are unfinished — not serged or hemmed.
Brand new. Cut from the bolt.
Project Notes
Murano feels smoother under the needle than pure cotton evenweaves and holds its shape well in a hoop or scroll frame. Antique White softens the contrast of pure white and pairs beautifully with muted palettes, heirloom samplers, botanical designs, and vintage-style reproductions where a stark background would feel too harsh. If you plan to cross stitch over two threads, a size 26 or 28 tapestry needle is ideal for this count. To prevent fraying while you work, finish the raw edges with a simple zigzag stitch, masking tape, or a liquid fray sealant before you begin.
