Aurifil Thread 40wt Cotton Large Spools

Aurifil 40wt cotton thread strikes the perfect balance between strength and visibility, making it a favourite for decorative quilting, free-motion quilting, and embroidery details where you want the thread to show. Made from long-staple Egyptian cotton, it produces minimal lint and runs smoothly through domestic and longarm machines alike. The slightly heavier weight gives more definition to quilting designs and decorative stitching, while still maintaining the softness and quality Aurifil is known for. Available in a wide colour range on large 1000m spools.

Recommended needle: 80/12 Microtex/Sharp, Universal 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.
