Zweigart 32 Count Lugana Murano Evenweave Fabric 3984/7409 – Gray with White Heart Print

Zweigart Murano 3984/7409 is a 32-count printed evenweave fabric — small white hearts, both solid and outlined, scattered across a light gray ground. No longer produced by Zweigart and hard to find elsewhere, this heart print is available while our remaining stock lasts. 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 hearts are printed onto the fabric and are scattered across the cloth, so the exact placement on your cut piece will vary. 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 heart print gives you a ready-made romantic backdrop, so it works beautifully with Valentine's Day designs, wedding and anniversary samplers, engagement and love-themed pieces, baby shower and nursery projects, and cottage-style romantic samplers where the scattered hearts add sentiment without extra stitching. Because heart placement varies, plan larger designs with room to shift the chart on the fabric until the print falls where you want it. 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.
