Chalkboard is a hand-dyed fabric in a striking dark grey/charcoal tone, inspired by the classic blackboard look. The color is the result of a unique dye mixture combining blue and green hues, which will create a rich, moody effect that varies depending on the fabric type. On fabrics with a higher concentration of synthetic fibers, like Lugana and Jobelan, the blue and green tones will be more prominent, while Linen will give a darker, more intense grey finish. For an unexpected, softer effect, Evenweaves will produce a more subdued result.
This fabric’s deep, dramatic color makes it perfect for both contemporary and vintage-inspired designs. Chalkboard provides a stunning, neutral backdrop that allows your cross-stitch patterns to truly pop, while adding depth and sophistication to your work.

Important Information:
