Product Description
Loden Green from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
Fresh, leafy green for natural details and botanical stitches
Loden Green (2840) is a soft yet lively green that captures the freshness of new leaves and gentle forest light. This versatile shade adds a splash of nature-inspired charm to your hand stitching, whether you're outlining florals, building textured foliage, or adding playful pops of green to your quilted motifs.
Aurifil’s 8wt thread is their thickest 100% cotton thread, spun from premium long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton. It’s mercerised for strength and shine, offering a smoother, more luxurious hand than standard Perle cottons. Ideal for big stitch quilting, hand embroidery, visible mending, and Sashiko, it’s a favourite among slow stitchers and embellishment enthusiasts.
Loden Green’s mid-tone vibrancy makes it an excellent choice for stitched stems, vines, and other organic details. It works beautifully on both light and dark backgrounds, offering a crisp but soft presence that doesn’t overwhelm your palette. Pair it with florals, garden-inspired prints, or tone-on-tone designs for maximum visual harmony.
Whether you're crafting modern botanical themes or traditional folk embroidery, this shade lends a natural energy and cheerful warmth to your work. It also glides smoothly through fabric with minimal tangling and no fraying—an Aurifil trademark appreciated by hand sewists and machine artists alike.
