Product Description
Light Grey Green from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
A whisper of green with calm, contemporary charm
Light Grey Green (2843) is a soft sage tone with a gentle grey base, offering a modern and soothing aesthetic. Ideal for tonal stitching or adding subtle definition, this thread brings quiet sophistication to hand quilting, embroidery, and surface embellishment. Part of the Aurifil 8wt Collection, it’s a versatile neutral for contemporary and traditional makers alike.
Aurifil’s 8wt thread is a 2-ply, heavy cotton thread made from 100% long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton. Mercerised for strength and sheen, it features a smooth twist and produces exceptionally low lint. It’s a beautiful alternative to #8 Perle cotton, delivering more control, fewer tangles, and a silkier stitching experience—perfect for hand quilting, Sashiko, cross stitch, or decorative sewing.
Light Grey Green pairs beautifully with soft neutrals, earthy palettes, and botanical prints. It enhances texture without overpowering the design, making it an ideal choice for stitched outlines, hand-tied quilting, or adding dimension to slow-stitched fabric art. Its consistent twist allows for precise, elegant stitch work every time.
This thread is also suitable for use in decorative machine stitching with the proper settings and a larger needle. Whether used as a background texture or quiet accent, Light Grey Green offers balance and polish to any textile composition.
For projects where muted greens and refined craftsmanship meet, Light Grey Green is a go-to choice—elegant, calming, and always beautifully stitched.
