Stitch on Grass Green, a 28 count Cashel linen by Zweigart: a bright grass green linen with a fresh, leafy tone. A coloured ground saves stitching a full background and sets the mood of the piece.

A little stitcher's folklore: an old sampler habit was to stitch one small deliberate mistake into a piece, a reminder that only nature is perfect, and plenty of stitchers still keep the tradition.

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 spring florals, Easter and garden designs.

In the pack: one precut piece of Zweigart Cashel, 100% linen, 28 count (11.2 threads per cm), in Grass Green. 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. Large enough for a framed picture, or cut it down for cards, bookmarks and ornaments.
