Aurifil Mako Fine Embroidery Thread - 50wt cotton thread
We stock all colours of 50wt Aurifil Make Fine Embroidery thread. It will take several weeks to get every one uploaded to the website. However, order by number until we have taken photos of all the spools.

Aurifil machine embroidery and quilting thread is a high quality Italian thread manufactured from 100% Egyptian mako. It is strong, smooth and relatively fuzz free.
The 50wt spools are distinguished by orange holders. To release the thread twist off the end cap, when you have finished you can tuck in the thread ends and twist the end cap back on. Neat way to tidy up those flapping and tangling loose ends!
You will love this thread for hand and machine piecing. Because it is lightweight but strong it makes a thinner seam. Thinner seams - less bulk in your quilt.
It is also the other thread Diane Gaudynski recommends for using in the bobbin when machine quilting with YLI Diane Gaudynski silk thread cones. It grasps the slippery silk and also means you don't use up your expensive silk thread so fast!
It's a popular thread with long arm quilters. They like to use it in the bobbin. When I worked for a short time with a long arm quilter, she used Aurifil thread on her Gamill long arm machine.
Each spool contains 1422 yards of thread. They come individually wrapped in a film of protective plastic over each spool to keep dust etc. out.
