40 Count Needlework Fabric

40ct Needlework Fabric

40ct fabric is a beautiful choice for stitchers who love a refined, heirloom look and very fine detail. It’s commonly stitched over two threads, which gives you an effective stitch size similar to 20-count Aida. The result is delicate, smooth coverage and crisp detail, especially for samplers, monochrome designs, and intricate motifs.

In this collection you’ll find 40ct needlework fabric in a variety of colors, including neutrals and specialty shades. Each listing includes the fabric count, color name, and cut size so you can choose confidently for your next project. If you enjoy finer counts or want a more polished finish, 40ct fabric is a wonderful step up.

Not sure what you need? If you’re used to Aida, try 40ct over two for a familiar approach with a finer look. Pair it with your favorite needles, floss, and a hoop or Q-snap, and you’re ready to stitch.
