Aurifil Thread 8wt Cotton Small Spools

Aurifil 8wt cotton thread on small 35m spools is a thick, softly finished thread designed for hand stitching where stitch definition is a feature. Available in a wide range of colours, it is suited to big stitch quilting, sashiko-inspired work, and decorative hand quilting. The 8wt weight is intended for hand use rather than machine sewing.

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.
