Question: what is the difference between needlepoint and counted cross stitch?
Answer: Needlepoint is a form of embroidery which is traditionally stitched with wool through a stiff open-weave canvas (meaning there are more holes than fabric) called “Mono Canvas.” Cross stitch is also a form of embroidery but is stitched on an open-and-even weave fabric (meaning equal hole and fabric) called “Aida” .
