Efina™ is a 60wt 100% extra-long-staple Egyptian cotton, double-gassed for an ultra-low-lint finish. At 60wt it's a fine thread, and that's the point — it buries itself in the fabric so your piecing seams lie genuinely flat and your appliqué stitches disappear instead of announcing themselves.

These packs are a collaboration with Petra Prins, the Dutch fabric designer and author, and the colors are chosen to sit alongside her fabric lines and quilt patterns rather than to cover a spectrum. If you work with her fabrics, this is the shortcut.

The Dutch Heritage 2 pack is the companion set to Dutch Heritage 1, extending the same antique range; the two packs together cover the full heritage palette.
