Aida Cloth Conversion Chart

Convert Aida Cloth to Evenweave or Linen

Use this free Aida cloth conversion chart to compare common Aida counts with the closest evenweave or linen count when stitching over 2, then check the finished stitch size before you choose fabric.

Aida Cloth Conversion Chart

Convert common Aida cloth counts into the closest evenweave or linen equivalent when stitching over 2, and quickly check how large 100 stitches will be on that fabric.

Formula: equivalent evenweave or linen count (over 2) = Aida count × 2

Results

Selected Aida Cloth

14-count

Equivalent Evenweave / Linen

28-count over 2

100 Stitches Size

18.1 cm / 7.1"

Stitches per Inch

14

This is a stitching-equivalent conversion. In practice, 14-count Aida matches 28-count evenweave or linen when stitched over 2 threads.

Why an Aida Cloth Conversion Chart Helps

Many stitchers know the Aida count they want, but then shop on sites that list evenweave or linen instead. That is where conversion gets confusing, especially if you are switching between 14-count Aida and 28-count linen or other common pairings.

This tool gives a practical conversion reference instead of forcing you to memorize the equivalents. It is useful when you want the same stitch size on a different fabric type, or when a pattern recommendation mentions only one fabric system.

It also helps before you buy fabric for a portrait, sampler, or gift project. If you know how large 100 stitches will be on each count, it is easier to choose between easier visibility and finer detail.

How to Think About Aida Conversion

Aida count tells you stitches per inch directly. Evenweave and linen are often stitched over 2 threads, so their equivalent count is usually double the Aida count for the same stitch size. That is why 14-count Aida commonly matches 28-count linen over 2.

If you change fabric type, also think about comfort and coverage. The conversion may keep the same stitch size, but the stitching experience still changes because hole structure, thread count, and fabric feel are different.
