Evenweave fabrics have the same number of threads in both directions of the weave - lengthwise (warp) and cross-wise or selvage to selvage (weft).
For cross-stitch and other counted embroidery techniques, however 'evenweave' is generally accepted as meaning non-Aida fabrics that are made from fibres other than 100% linen.
The fabrics that are categorised as evenweave are non-Aida fabrics made from cotton, cotton/linen blends, or cotton/other fibre (such as rayon) blend. The result is a fabric that is made with threads of uniform thickness, which results in consistent stitch sizes across the whole piece of work.
Evenweave fabrics in stock range from 20 count to 40 count. These fabrics are 140cm (55") wide on the bolt, so a fat quarter will measure 70 x 50cm (27.5" x 19.7").
