- I've just discovered that the size-3 perle cotton (a single strand) and
- the 10-mesh plastic canvas are a perfect match for needlepoint. I started
- on a Christmas scene (from a X-stitch book) over the weekend, and I'm very
- pleased with how uniform the stitches look, how nice and stiff the canvas
- is, and how shiny and vibrant the colors are.
-
- Give it a try.
