Aurifil Thread 80wt Cotton Small Spools

Aurifil 80wt cotton thread is an ultra-fine thread ideal for hand piecing, appliqué, and any technique where you want the thread to be virtually invisible. The exceptionally fine weight sinks completely into the fabric, making it perfect for needle-turn appliqué, English paper piecing, and delicate hand stitching, where thread visibility would detract from the work.

Recommended needle: 70/10 or 80/12 Microtex/Sharp or Embroidery.

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.
