Aurifil’s 100% Cotton 40wt 3-ply thread is wound on a yellow spool. Because of its slightly thicker weight, it is perfect for use with sewing bags, toys or dolls, garments, or when a more defined topstitching or quilting pattern is desired. It is also terrific for Single, Double or Triple Strand Cross Stitch, Hand Piecing, Bobbin and Machine Lace, Machine Applique, Machine Embroidery, Edge-to-Edge, Pantographs, and Custom Longarm Quilting.

This 3-ply thread is made specifically to handle the rigor of today's high speed high tech longarm machines. Same high quality Mako thread, but added benefit of extra strength. Don't worry, it's still virtually lint free.
