Belfast is Zweigart's 32 ct linen, and the brand's linen with the most colours. It is 100% linen, with the slightly irregular texture of the fibre, and over 2 threads it gives the same size as 16 ct Aida.

About Belfast 32 ct linen

  • Composition: 100% linen.
  • Count: 32 threads per inch (126 threads in 10 cm), with the same number of threads vertically and horizontally.
  • Stitched over 2 threads: 16 stitches fit in one inch, the same size as on 16 ct Aida.
  • Zweigart article 3609, in pieces 140 cm wide.
  • We sell it in cuts from 46 × 48 cm up to 140 × 250 cm.
  • As well as the plain colours, special editions (Vintage, Splash, Petit Point, Sparkle, Leaves, Wish, Mini Dots).

Zweigart recommends it for almost any embroidery technique. If you're looking for a small piece, take a look at fabric remnants.

How big your embroidery will be

About 6.3 stitches fit in each centimetre of Belfast 32 ct linen, so a design of 100 × 100 stitches measures about 16 × 16 cm. If you're going to frame it, add a margin of about 7–8 cm on each side. Unless your chart says otherwise, with stranded cotton the usual is 2 strands for the cross stitch.

In the same count, in cotton and modal with even threads, you have Murano 32 ct; in a linen and cotton blend, Lucan 32 ct. All our linens are in linen fabrics.

Frequently asked questions

Belfast or Murano?

They give the same size. Belfast is 100% linen, with a natural texture; Murano is cotton and modal, more even and easier to count.

Can you stitch over 1 thread?

Yes, for very fine details or small lettering: 32 stitches fit in one inch, usually with 1 strand.
