Zweigart 32 Count Lugana Murano Evenweave Fabric 3984/720 – Black

Zweigart Murano 3984/720 is a 32-count evenweave fabric in Black. 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. Black is a popular ground for Halloween and gothic designs, black cat and silhouette motifs, night sky and constellation samplers, blackwork and whitework projects, mourning and memorial pieces, and modern high-contrast work where white, metallic, neon, and jewel-tone threads pop sharply against a pure black backdrop. Working on black can be hard on the eyes, so daylight lamps and a light-colored cloth in your lap to catch reflections help a lot. 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.
