Hello,

I'm sorry but we do not send out samples :(

If you want swatches of all 25-count Lugana fabrics, the only place in the world that has them is Casa Cenina: https://www.casacenina.com/zweigart/zweigart-lugana-sample-card.html

It will run you around $30 including shipping and will take 2-3 weeks to arrive, but their sample color chart has been a wonderful tool. They use a numbering system to identify each color. All you need to do to convert it to Everything Cross Stitch names is get the SKU numbers from ECS.

You might want to mention that Lugana, Linen, and Aida take dyes differently...and I've noted differences between counts in the same fabric...so $30 for this helpful tool will still leave you guessing for other counts and fabrics. Do companies like Zweigart make sample books of fabrics for distributors, like the real floss DMC sample books? Would they be for retail distribution? If they don't, WHY don't they? Variation shouldn't be the reason...every stitcher knows about variations AND frustration at not being able to find what they want! Come on people! Think outside your Victorian ways of doing things! 😡
I think the rant is over...uh-oh, maybe not. 😃

My apologies. I should have specified that the Lugana fabric color booklet is for 25-count only. There is no variation from different counts. Casa Cenina also has a Lugana Murano booklet for 32-count evenweave. Zweigart unfortunately does not offer fabric color booklets, not even to wholesalers. Casa Cenina gets precut circles of fabric from Zweigart and they put the booklet together. They make new booklets with updated colors twice a year and released the most recent one three weeks ago. If you do decide to order the 25-count color booklet, I would be happy to pass along the numbers and names of the colors. Just reply here, and I'll help save you some extensive research time.
