Aurifil 2020 Colour Builder – Milan Grey – Set of 3 Large Spools of 50wt Cotton – 1300 metres per spool
Introducing Aurifil Colour Builders, a capsule of twelve curated mini-collections inspired by (and named after) Italy’s most vibrant and colourful destinations. Each collection contains three large spools of 50wt thread — a warm, a medium, and a dark — within the location’s primary colour palette.
From the lemon groves of Sicily to the pink sand beaches of Sardinia to the clear teal waters of Capri to the stark city grey of Milan… each collection is crafted to evoke images of Aurifil’s beloved Italian landscape. The colours were selected not only for their aesthetic appeal, but for their practicality in every day use.
Quilters, sewists, and makers will appreciate the Colour Builder collections for their beauty and for their utility.
Colours included:
2600 – Dove
2610 – Light Blue Grey

Your morning begins with a brisk walk through the city, down a series of narrow cobblestoned streets, the noise of trams and weaving vespas giving way to the morning bustle. The streets are bursting with smartly dressed people, soaking up the morning sun, sipping fresh coffee, and reading the daily paper. The sweet smell of jasmine lingers in the air, and a new day begins in Milan.
Aurifil 50wt Thread – Aurifil’s 50wt thread is the most versatile and most popular 100% Cotton thread. It is available in 270 different colours, and is wound on Aurifil’s iconic orange spool. The 50wt is strong and thin, and results in remarkably flat and crisp seams. While it is wonderful for piecing, subtle quilting & topstitching, and English Paper Piecing it also works incredibly well for Needle Turn Applique, Bobbin and Machine Lace, Machine Applique (Straight Stitch, ZigZag, Blind Hem and Blanket Stitch,) Machine Embroidery, Dense Machine Quilting, Subtle Machine and Longarm Quilting, Basting, Whole Cloth and Micro Quilting, and Dense Background Designs.
