Wound on a green spool, Aurifil's slightly thicker 40wt Cotton is the most popular machine embroidery thread. It’s also excellent for (but not limited to) bag sewing, dress making, machine applique, machine quilting and longarm quilting. 

The Aurifil Full Selection Box comes in an elegant blue case with 6 pull-out drawers and boasts all 234 solid + 36 variegated colors (270 spools, 164 yd each). An amazing gift for any crafter!
