Aurifil Thread 50wt Cotton Large Spools

Skip to product grid

Aurifil 50wt cotton thread is the most popular weight in the Aurifil range, trusted by quilters worldwide for piecing, appliqué, and fine machine quilting. The fine, long-staple Egyptian cotton produces minimal lint, runs smoothly at high speeds, and delivers a beautiful, subtle finish that lets your quilting shine without overpowering the fabric. Available in a vast colour palette, Aurifil 50wt large spools (1300m) offer excellent value for regular quilters. The thread is strong enough for piecing yet fine enough to sink into the fabric for an almost invisible finish when quilting.

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.
