Stitch on Dirty Flax, a 28 count Cashel linen by Zweigart: a warm, dusky tan linen in the classic aged 'dirty' shade loved for primitive designs. A coloured ground saves stitching a full background and sets the mood of the piece.

A little stitcher's folklore: a stitcher's stash is the hoard of fabric and floss bought before there is any plan for it, and a few pieces of good fabric are the classic start of one.

Why this fabric: Cashel is a 28 count linen, a little more open than Belfast, so it is easy on the eyes and the most forgiving linen to start with. Worked over two it gives 14 stitches per inch, the scale of 14 count Aida. This shade suits rustic, farmhouse and primitive designs.

In the pack: one precut piece of Zweigart Cashel, 100% linen, 28 count (11.2 threads per cm), in Dirty Flax. Not included: chart, floss, needle and hoop, sold separately.

Getting started: overcast the edges, fold to find the centre and stitch over two threads with a size 26 tapestry needle, using two strands of floss. Wash finished work by hand in cool water and press face down on a towel.

Size: 48 x 68 cm (19 x 27 in). Worked over two with a 2 in margin all round, it fits a design of about 205 x 315 stitches. One piece is plenty for a framed sampler, a pillow front or several small ornaments.
