Zweigart 32 Count Lugana Murano Evenweave Fabric 3984/7419 – Basalt with White Splash Print

Zweigart Murano 3984/7419 is a 32-count printed evenweave fabric — an irregular white splash and splatter pattern on a dark basalt grey ground, like scattered stars against a night sky. The base cloth is standard Murano Lugana, so it stitches exactly like plain Murano, with the smooth drape and subtle sheen of the Lugana family, and 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

The white splash pattern is printed onto the fabric in an intentionally irregular arrangement, with dots of varying sizes scattered randomly across the cloth. Placement on your cut piece will vary — no two cuts look the same. 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. The splash print gives you a ready-made night sky, so it works beautifully with celestial and astronomy designs, star charts and constellation samplers, galaxy and cosmic motifs, winter and snowfall scenes, Halloween ghost trails, and modern splatter-art or abstract projects where the print does part of the design work for you. Because splash placement varies, plan larger designs with room to shift the chart on the fabric until the pattern falls where you want it. Working on a dark ground 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.
