Zweigart 32 Count Lugana Murano Vintage Evenweave Fabric 3984/3219 – Country Wood (Brown Marble)

Zweigart Murano 3984/3219 is a 32-count evenweave fabric in Country Wood — also known as Brown Marble — a variegated colorway with a hand-dyed look without the hand-dyed price. The marbled effect gives each piece a one-of-a-kind character, with lighter and deeper areas shifting across the surface. 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

The marbled effect is intentionally uneven, so the pattern of lighter and darker areas will vary from cut to cut. 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. Country Wood is a favorite for designs with open backgrounds — the mottled tones mean unstitched areas carry visual warmth and texture rather than looking blank. It works well for primitive samplers, woodland scenes, old-world maps, and autumn motifs where the fabric becomes 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.
