Aurifil Thread 50wt Cotton Cones

Aurifil 50wt cotton thread on large cones is the go-to choice for longarm quilters and high-volume machine quilters who rely on the world's most popular quilting thread weight. The fine, long-staple Egyptian cotton delivers minimal lint, smooth, consistent tension, and a beautiful, subtle finish that sinks into the fabric for an almost invisible quilting line. Ideal for pantograph work, edge-to-edge quilting, and any project requiring a generous, uninterrupted supply of premium 50wt thread.

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.
