Aurifil 80wt Mako Cotton Thread

Aurifil’s 80 weight thread is their finest cotton thread—thin, strong, and nearly invisible in your stitches. Made from 100% long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton, this 2-ply thread is a favorite for detail work that calls for precision and minimal bulk.

Perfect for hand applique, English paper piecing, machine applique, machine embroidery, free motion quilting, and even free motion couching, 80wt glides smoothly through fabric while allowing your design—not your stitches—to take the spotlight.

We carry all available colors in 300 yard spools, ideal for fine, delicate work that requires both beauty and control.

Tip: Pair with a smaller needle (like 70/10 or 60/8) for best results and smooth tension.
