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!
