Product Description
Magenta from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
Bold berry richness for vibrant, expressive stitching
Magenta (2535) is a deep, vivid pink-purple that delivers high impact and irresistible energy to your hand-stitched work. Whether you're creating bold borders, floral embroidery, or standout big stitch quilting, this rich berry hue commands attention without sacrificing elegance.
Aurifil’s 8wt thread is their heaviest weight cotton, spun from premium long-staple Egyptian Mako fibres. This 2-ply thread is highly mercerised for strength and shine, resulting in a smoother hand than Perle cotton with significantly less lint. It glides effortlessly through fabric with minimal tangles, making it a joy to use for detailed handwork, embellishment, redwork, Sashiko, and big stitch quilting.
Magenta’s confident tone pairs beautifully with soft greys, deep navy, bright citrus, or layered pinks and purples for a tonal approach. It brings modern vibrancy to traditional techniques, and refined polish to contemporary designs. If you’re looking to make a statement with your stitches, Magenta is a bold and beautiful choice.
