Paternayan is a 100% Virgin Wool 3 ply yarn which provides excellent coverage on a wide range of canvas sizes by simply varying the number of strands used in stitching.  It is also suitable for wool embroidery and other forms of hand embroidery.

8 yards (7.4m) per skein.

Paternayan Persian yarn is well known all over the world for its superior use for needlework such as embroidery, needlepoint, and cross stitch. A major benefit of Persian yarn comes from its versatility. The yarn provides excellent coverage on a wide range of canvas sizes by simply varying the number of strands used in the stitching. A single strand of Paternayan Persian is ideal for cross stitch on Aida cloth and fine embroidery on linen.

Plying, the act of separating the three strands, is always necessary before stitching. Even when three strands are used, plying is still needed so the yarn will lie smoothly on the canvas. The chart below gives the amount of Colonial Persian Yarn required for one square inch of basket weave stitching.

Mesh Size Number of Strands Length of Yarn
#10 Mono Canvas 3 48"
#12 Mono Canvas 2 38"
#14 Mono Canvas 2 42"
#18 Mono Canvas 1 25"
