At Vaessen Creative, plastic canvas is available in various sizes, mesh counts and shapes. The thickness of the yarn you can use depends on the mesh size of your canvas, i.e. the number of squares per cm². The larger the count, the smaller the holes and the finer the stitching. Vaessen Creative sells plastic canvas in 7, 10, 14 and 16 counts. The easiest way to embroider with plastic canvas is with a blunt needle.
