Product Description
Thread Collection: The Amalfi Purples
The Essence of Amalfi in Every Thread
The Amalfi Thread Collection by Aurifil is a homage to the vibrant hues of Italy's Amalfi Coast. Crafted from the finest 100% MAKO Egyptian Cotton, this 50 weight 2ply thread offers quilters, crafters, and textile artists the perfect purple palette to capture the essence of the Amalfi's majestic charm.
A Spectrum of Purples
Each spool in the collection reflects a different shade of purple, from the delicate hues of the coastal dawn to the deep, mysterious shades of the twilight sky. This range allows for a dynamic use of color, providing an opportunity to create depth and contrast in your work.
Inspired by Italian Flair
The Amalfi Collection is not just about the quality of the thread but the experience it embodies. With colors that are as rich as the coastal culture, these threads are an invitation to weave the Italian zest for life into your creations.
