Zweigart Murano 3984/705 is a 32-count evenweave fabric in Pearl Grey. Part of Zweigart's Lugana family, Murano has a smooth drape and subtle sheen that suits 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. Pearl Grey is a popular ground for wedding and anniversary samplers, elegant modern designs, winter and silver-themed pieces, minimalist and Scandinavian projects, urban silhouettes, and neutral palettes where a soft grey backdrop replaces plain cream or white. 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.
