Founded in 1983, this Italian brand sources all of its cotton from the Mako region of Egypt, while its spools are created using recycled plastic recovered from our oceans. The name ‘Aurifil’ is a combination of the Latin words ‘aurum’ (gold) and ‘filum’ (thread), reflecting the company's commitment to producing threads of exceptional quality.

For structural support without compromise, Aurifil’s Monofilament threads come in two discreet colours. This allows them to disappear into the background of your project, making them ideal for top threading, as well as outlining, shaping and echoing your applique.

For the best of both worlds, Aurifil’s Wool threads are made from a wool and acrylic blend, offering texture to your project in an array of unique colours. Whatever your preferred sewing style, Aurifil provides threads to accommodate your technique while enlivening your imagination with their spectrum of gorgeous colours.
