    Fabric- sometimes referred
    to as cloth, are of great
    variety and they differ in
    material, weight, weave,
    design, color, and finish.
    Three types of Fabric
    1. Common weave- includes
    most tightly woven fabrics with a
    relatively smooth surface like linen,
    wool and cotton.
    2. Even-weave- are intended for
    hardanger embroidery since the
    number of threads per square inch is
    same for both warp and woof.
    3. Basket weave- is commonly
    used by beginners and ramie linen
    by those who have been used to
    this embroidery.
    Thread- is available in various types.
    They differ in terms of texture, fiber
    content, number of strands and colors.
    Proper Care of
    Embroidery Thread
    Thread dents - when a cone
    falls onto the floor, the point of
    impact can “dent” the thread,
    resulting in a weak spot (or spots)
    that can ultimately lead to
    problems as the thread travels
    toward the needle.
    Discoloring and fading - Threads,
    especially rayon, will fade when
    exposed to sunlight for extended
    periods of time. If your threads are
    stored on a window sill or anywhere
    that sunlight can strike them full force,
    you risk fading and discoloring.
    Lint buildup - Threads
    that sit out, exposed to the
    elements of your shop’s
    environment, are prone to
    dust and lint building up.
    Brittleness - In addition to
    discoloring and fading,
    excessive exposure to
    sunlight can dry out the
    thread and lead to
    brittleness in the fibers.
