Cross stitch question: have done lots on aida but what is the waste canvas like?

never attempted a waste canvas kit before & was wondering what they are like from experienced stitchers

if you have done loads of cross stitching you will be fine with this, it also called dissappearing canvas….

Waste Canvas is a grid woven of fibers which is basted onto fabric and used as a guide for placement of individual cross stitches. When all of the cross stitches in a design are complete, the fibers of the waste canvas grid are moistened and removed by gently pulling them out from under the stitches.
Waste canvas is a grid that is held together with a water soluble glue. Waste canvas resembles the canvas used for needlepoint. It is available in various fabric counts, typically 8.5, 10, 14, and 18 squares per inch. A blue thread is often woven every 10 stitches to help with counting. This gridded canvas is called waste canvas because the fibers are temporary and are pulled out after the stitched design is complete.
