Zweigart Murano 3984/4010 is a 32-count evenweave fabric in Pumpkin — a rich, burnt-orange shade with a warm copper undertone that immediately sets an autumn mood. 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. 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. Pumpkin is a bold background choice that gives Halloween, harvest, and autumn-themed designs an instant sense of season — deep greens, golds, and dark browns stitch up beautifully against this warm base, while cream and ivory threads create striking contrast. It also works well for folk-art samplers and rustic motifs where you want the fabric itself to carry part of the color story. 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 unfinished edges with a simple zigzag stitch, masking tape, or a liquid fray sealant before you begin.
