Aurifil thread is known among quilters as the best cotton thread you can find due to its versatility, strength, lustrous colour, and the fact that it produces virtually no lint. 

Aurifil’s 100% Cotton 80wt thread is one of the newest members of the Aurifil family. Such a thin thread is perfect for a variety of techniques, including English Paper Piecing, Hand Applique, Machine Embroidery, Machine Applique, Free Motion Quilting, Free Motion Couching, and more.

With thread produced in Italy, Aurifil leads the industry in good stewardship.  They have a partnership with Plastic Bank, a social enterprise headquartered in Canada which aims to clean up plastic waste from our oceans while providing valuable opportunities for people living in poverty. Aurifil thread is Oeko-Tex certified, meaning that the thread is certified free of harmful chemicals.
