Colors available from Yarn Tree.
Lugana is usually stitched over 2 threads. So 28 count Lugana, for example, stitches up like a 14 count. Your pattern may say 'over two' (that is, stitch over 2 threads); or '2 by 2', or '2 over 2' (that is, stitch 2 strands of floss over 2 fabric threads).
Beginner suggestions: Although other cross stitch fabrics are not difficult, aida would be the best choice for a first project. Our Yarn Tree site has Learn To Cross Stitch In 5 Minutes instructions. There is also a video.
