Aida Cloth Calculator & Conversion Chart

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.

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.
