Balanced fabric

A balanced fabric is one in which the warp and the weft are of the same size. In weaving, these are generally called balanced plain weaves or just balanced weaves, while in embroidery the term even-weave is more common.
Even-weave
An even-weave fabric or canvas, a term mostly used in embroidery, is any textile where the warp and weft threads are of the same size.[1][2] Even-weave fabrics include even-weave aida cloth, linen, and needlepoint canvas. These fabrics are typically required as foundations for counted-thread embroidery styles such as blackwork, cross-stitch, and needlepoint, so that a stitch of the same "count" (that is, crossing the same number of fabric threads) will be the same length whether it crosses warp or weft threads.
