Aurifil 50wt Mako Cotton Thread
Aurifil’s 50 weight thread is their finest and most versatile cotton thread, made from 100% long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton and spun in Italy. This smooth, strong 2-ply thread is ideal when you want your stitches to blend into the fabric rather than stand out—perfect for letting your piecing and design take center stage.

Because of its strength and low bulk, 50wt is a favorite for machine piecing, machine quilting, hand applique, machine embroidery, English paper piecing, and more. It runs beautifully through both domestic sewing machines and longarms with minimal lint, reducing machine maintenance and thread breaks.

Available in all colors in both 220yd (small spool) and 1422yd (large spool) sizes, with a selection of 6452yd cones for high-volume quilters and longarm users.

Tip: If you want your stitches to show more, try Aurifil 40wt or 28wt instead.
