Product Description
Light Jade from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
Fresh, tropical tone with vibrant clarity
Light Jade (1148) is a bright, ocean-inspired green with turquoise undertones—bringing energy and freshness to hand-stitched accents and bold embellishment. A standout shade in the Aurifil 8wt Collection, it’s ideal for decorative stitching where colour and craftsmanship work hand in hand.
Aurifil’s 8wt thread is their heaviest 2-ply cotton, crafted from 100% long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton. Mercerised for a smooth, lustrous finish, it glides effortlessly through fabric with minimal lint and exceptional control—perfect for big stitch quilting, sashiko, embroidery, and more. Its refined twist offers a neater alternative to traditional Perle cotton while maintaining the bold visual presence required for decorative work.
Light Jade adds a tropical spark when paired with cool-toned palettes or brings contrast and pop to warm, earthy prints. It’s especially effective for floral outlines, geometric embroidery, or enhancing detail on quilted accessories. The subtle sheen adds polish, helping each stitch catch the light with clarity and charm.
Compared to #8 Perle cotton, Aurifil 8wt delivers greater consistency and ease of use—less tangling, more glide, and cleaner finishes. It’s also suitable for decorative machine work with the appropriate needle and tension settings.
Whether you’re planning statement accents or intricate surface design, Light Jade is a refreshing choice—bold, breezy, and always beautifully stitched.
