Zweigart Murano 3984/11 is a 32-count evenweave fabric in White with a woven-in opalescent metallic thread that catches the light with a delicate shimmer. Part of Zweigart's Lugana family, Murano is a popular choice for counted cross stitch, hardanger, drawn thread work, and surface embroidery — and this Opalescent version adds a festive sparkle that's especially loved for Christmas, winter, wedding, and christening designs. 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. 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
The opalescent metallic thread is woven right into the fabric, so the shimmer is subtle and consistent across the piece — no separate sparkle thread to stitch over. It photographs beautifully and looks especially magical on snowflakes, angels, ornaments, and any design where a touch of glow makes the finished piece feel special. 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.
