Aurifil Forty3 is a 40wt, 3-ply cotton thread built for strength, consistency, and bold stitch definition. Originally developed for longarm quilting, it also performs beautifully in machine embroidery, appliqué, thread painting, bag making, garment construction, and general sewing. Made from 100% Egyptian Mako cotton, it delivers low-lint performance and rich, vibrant color across a wide range of projects. The third ply adds durability and a slightly thicker presence—perfect for detailed quilting, satin stitching, decorative accents, and more. With a generous 3,280 yards per cone, Forty3 is a reliable workhorse for any project that demands both beauty and endurance.
