The thread collection accompanying Jenni Smith and Kay Walsh's Menopause Makes — a book built around sewing as a route through a stage of life that gets talked about far too little. Ten spools across 50wt, 40wt and 12wt.

50wt is Aurifil's most versatile cotton — fine enough for flat, crisp piecing seams, and equally at home in needle-turn applique, English paper piecing, machine embroidery and dense background quilting.
