thread | aurifil | 50wt 1300m | oyster

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 and leaves precise, barely noticeable seams. Ideal 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 blue. 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.

Elegant, understated and with a touch of pink – Oyster is like delicate mother-of-pearl on the spool. Ideal for light fabrics, noble appliqués, and fine quilt lines that blend discreetly into the overall picture.
