Mesh Count

In needlepoint, mesh count refers to the number of threads or holes per inch in the canvas, and it plays a crucial role in determining the overall look and feel of the finished piece.

A higher mesh count, such as 18-count canvas, means smaller holes, which allows for finer, more intricate designs and a more detailed finish.

A lower mesh count, such as 13-count, has larger holes, which is better suited for bold, expressive designs and larger stitches.

The size of the thread and the needle both depend on the mesh count of the canvas. Make sure you purchase the right thread for your canvas!
