Aurifil Thread 40wt Cotton Variegated Large Spools

Aurifil 40wt variegated cotton thread brings colour movement and depth to decorative quilting, free-motion work, and embroidery details. The slightly heavier 40wt weight gives more definition and visibility than the 50wt, making the colour transitions more pronounced and striking in your finished work. Made from long-staple Egyptian cotton with minimal lint and smooth running performance, ideal for projects where you want the thread to make a statement.

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.
