About 28-count Aida fabric
28-count fabric (often called 28-count evenweave or 28-count Jobelan) is worked over 2 threads, which gives an effective stitch count equivalent to 14-count Aida. The resulting fabric has a softer, linen-like appearance compared to the more structured Aida weave. It is often used for heirloom and wedding pieces.
