Fabric or canvas?
Is fabric or canvas used in this kit? I don't understand how fabric would be stiff enough or strong enough to have cross stitches in yarn used on it. I would like to purchase this kit but am confused about how this would work.
I'd appreciate any extra info on this kit.Thanks!

The 14-count fabric is probably Aida, so it would hold up. There are wonderful wools out now that are the same thickness as several plies of floss, and, treated gently, will cover and give wonderful depth of texture to stitching. I've not ordered a kit for MANY years, but always am looking for new and alternative fibers to use on stitching. I love the Klimt pictures anyways, and would consider this one!

The fabric that comes in this kit is Zweigart 14ct. White Aida. Hope this helps.
