Product Description
Bright Orange from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
Vibrant colour with bold stitching power
Bright Orange (1133) is a saturated tangerine hue full of energy and warmth—ideal for projects where bold stitches and confident colour are key. Part of the Aurifil 8wt Collection, this thread delivers excellent performance and a refined finish, making it a favourite among hand quilters, embroiderers, and textile artists alike.
Aurifil’s 8wt thread is the heaviest 2-ply cotton in their range, made from 100% long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton and mercerised to enhance sheen and strength. The smooth twist and low-lint composition make it a superior alternative to Perle cotton, especially for those who value precision, glide, and stitch definition.
Use Bright Orange to bring visual punch to your Big Stitch quilting, decorative embroidery, or Sashiko work. Its high-contrast brilliance shines against light and dark fabrics alike, and its silky sheen adds an extra dimension of richness. Ideal for hand quilting, visible mending, embellishing accessories, or creative textile arts.
Compared to #8 Perle cotton, Aurifil 8wt offers a smoother, tangle-resistant thread with a more elegant flow. It’s especially helpful when you want thick, defined lines with less drag and a cleaner needle. Suitable for decorative machine stitching with appropriate settings.
For those seeking both functionality and visual drama in their stitching, Bright Orange is a go-to choice—lively, luminous, and designed to stand out beautifully.
