Textile also refers to the yarns, threads and wools that can be spun, woven, tufted, tied and otherwise used to manufacture cloth. The production of textiles is an ancient art, whose speed and scale of production has been altered almost beyond recognition by mass-production and the introduction of modern manufacturing techniques. An ancient Roman weaver would have no problem recognizing a plain weave, twill, or satin.

Artists use small (or sometimes much larger) pieces of canvas as a base for their works of art. This canvas is stretched across a wooden frame called a stretcher, and is coated with gesso before it is to be used (although some modern artists, such as Francis Bacon and Helen Frankenthaler sometimes paint onto the bare, unprimed canvas).

History Of Embroidery, Needlework, Counted Cross Stitch are from 3000 BC They are hand work over the it is only relatively recently that cross stitch has been paintings and sculptures show that embroidery was worked http://www.classiccrossstitch.com/history.html
Extractions: History T he word Embroidery comes from the Anglo-Saxon word for "edge", but the technique itself was being used long before that. The term was first applied to decoratively stitched borders on medieval church vestments. But over time it came to cover all stitched decoration on any textile fabric. Fragments of cloth dating from between 5,000 BC and 500 AD have been excavated from tombs and monuments in South America, Egypt and China, and these show crude examples of darning, half cross stitch and satin stitch. Many of the fragments are made of linen; the regular warp and weft of this fabric, one of the oldest of all woven materials, provided the basis for the development of counted thread stitches. The earliest example of a complete cross stitch is a design worked in upright crosses on linen, and the piece was discovered in a Coptic tomb in Upper Egypt, where it was preserved by the dry desert climate dating from about 500AD in Upper Egypt. Very few pieces of decorated fabric have survived from ancient civilisations, but this does not mean that decorative stitching was rarely used. Natural fibres are perishable and do not survive as well as most metal and ceramic objects excavated from archaeological sites.

Counted Cross Stitch Patterns And Kits materials are fully washable, and should be hand washed in If you have not stitched your work on a Washing and pressing your embroidery will return the Aida http://www.kits2stitch.com/framing.php
Extractions: When you have completed your Kits2Stitch kit, you will want it to look its best before either framing it yourself or taking it to a professional framer. All our materials are fully washable, and should be hand washed in warm soapy water before being rinsed thoroughly. Iron your work between two clean towels, then place it on a third clean towel to dry flat at room temperature. When it is almost dry, press it lightly on the wrong side with a warm (not hot) iron, with the face of your work resting on a well padded surface. If you have not stitched your work on a frame you may find that it requires a little gentle pulling as you press it, to return it to its original size. Washing and pressing your embroidery will return the Aida fabric to its original crisp finish. If the kit you have finished is small to medium sized (not more than 8 or 9 wide or deep) the fabric should hold its own shape and can be mounted with masking tape behind a cut-out mount card and placed directly into a frame. If you are intending to make more than one kit in one of our series of designs, we suggest that you buy the frames at the same time, as the colours of paint or varnish on commercially produced frames can vary.
