thread | aurifil | 50wt 1300m | midnight

Fine, strong and almost 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. Ideal when your fabric should take the spotlight – not the seam. The characteristic orange spool houses 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.

Deep, rich and full of secrets – Midnight is a noble dark blue reminiscent of the midnight sky. Perfect for strong contrasts, dark fabrics, or modern quilt lines with statement character.
