Well, this stuff is the gold standard of cross stitch cloth for Waldorf 4th graders (the 6 count aida cloth, that is), and it is incredibly difficult to find. I had ordered a whole bunch 4 years ago, and we thought there was enough for this year, but we were oh so very wrong, and a week out from school starting!!! Originally I special ordered it from Charles Craft after speaking with sales dept. there, and it took eons to arrive as I recall, and I didn't have that kind of time (if you go to their web site, it is not something they carry regularly, I am sure I paid an arm and a leg for it!)
Sooooo, I finally find it on this site called everythingcrossstich.com and they can get it too me within a week...whew...I have no idea if it is the real stiff stuff that I like to use, but I hope so. It is originally from Wichelt, but their site is all in Euros, so I went with the company in the US. The cost was about 15 bucks per foot (67 inch width) and I got 3 feet of it to make our pin cushions. I have 2 fourth grades this year, each with 30 kiddos!!! Our school is now double tracked up to Fourth! We are bursting at the seams!
Does anyone out there have a better source for this stuff?? It seems so pricey, doesn't it?
