Aurifil Thread 28wt Cotton Large Spools

Aurifil 28wt cotton thread is a heavier weight ideal for hand quilting, big stitch quilting, and decorative embroidery, where you want the thread to be a prominent design feature. The thicker weight creates bold, visible stitches that add texture and character to quilts, making it a popular choice for wholecloth quilting and statement hand stitching.

Recommended needle: 90/14 Topstitch, Quilting or Denim.

Aurifil thread is 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton, grown in the MAKO region of Egypt on the river Nile. Long-staple fibres produce a stronger, smoother thread with minimal lint. While not organic, Aurifil is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified - free from harmful chemicals and completely safe for human use, so you and your loved ones can wrap yourselves in those lovingly stitched quilts without worry. Aurifil is also BCI and FSC certified, and partners with Plastic Bank to offset ocean-bound plastic.
