yarn | aurifil | 50wt 1300m | light grey blue

Fine, strong, and nearly invisible – the Aurifil Cotton 50wt is the quiet hero in the sewing room. This thread glides effortlessly through cotton, linen, or batiste, leaving precise, barely noticeable seams. Perfect when your fabric should take the spotlight – not the seam. The characteristic orange spool holds around 270 color dreams: from delicate pastels to dramatic deep blues. Whether in patchwork, delicate appliqués, or as a faithful companion for English Paper Piecing – the 50wt shows how much elegance is in a fine thread.

Fresh like a sea breeze on cotton – Light Grey Blue is a delicate gray-blue shade with cool elegance. Ideal for modern quilts, minimalist projects, or subtle accents on light fabrics with style.
