Aida

After Verdi had composed Aida he wrote no more operas for sixteen years.

Use a size 24 needle for most aidas, and a size 26 for evenweaves and linens.

The benefit however of stitching on a higher count aida is that the overall project will be smaller, and you can fit in a greater level of detail.

Each of the projects in this book use 14 count aida, which means there are fourteen squares (or stitches) per inch of fabric.

Her name was Aida, like the opera, and I said I’d heard it meant happy in Italian. More laughter. Oh, I always live up to it.
