These sewing threads are made from 100% Egyptian Cotton, grown in the MAKO region of Egypt on the river Nile. Different world areas offer different attributes to the raw material. What makes these threads so special is that these threads are long staple, which refers to the length of the fibres in the raw cotton Boll. The length of the fibres determines the quality of the cotton, so it stands to reason that the longer threads mean a better quality of thread for all your sewing, quilting, and dressmaking projects.
Production
The production process is based in Milan, Italy. It’s here where the thread undergoes 15 steps before it becomes a spool ready for use by sewers, dressmakers, crafters, and quilters the world over.
While Aurifil threads are not organic, they are Oeko-Tex certified. Oeko-Tex certification relates to how a product is processed, including things like dyes and finishes used. It means that these superior threads are certified free of harmful chemicals and are completely safe for human use.
Or… in quilter’s terms, you and your loved ones can wrap yourselves in those lovingly stitched quilts without worry!
