What kind of fabric do I use with silk embroidery floss?

I just ordered some pure silk embroidery floss to use for crewel (not counted thread) embroidery. What type of fabric would be best to use with these? I have never worked with this type of floss before.
Thank you!

Silk floss is usually used for counted thread embriodery, needlepoint or surface embriodery on linen evenweave fabric. Crewel work is done with 2-3 strand wool yarn such as Paternayan. Working with silk you will need to keep your hands very soft; if you have dry skin the thread will catch and stick to your fingers.
