Product Description
Medium Red from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
Classic crimson for punchy contrast and traditional charm
Medium Red (5002) is a vivid, true red with a timeless tone that adds instant impact to your hand-stitching. It’s a go-to shade for holiday makes, folk-inspired embroidery, and classic patchwork accents.
Aurifil’s 8wt thread is the brand’s thickest 100% cotton thread, made from premium Egyptian Mako fibres. Mercerised for shine and strength, it’s ideal for bold quilting stitches, redwork, Sashiko, and big stitch embellishments.
Whether paired with neutrals for a bold statement or layered with deeper shades of crimson and burgundy, Medium Red offers high visibility and traditional appeal. It glides smoothly through fabric with low lint and minimal tangling—an enduring favourite for decorative and utility stitching alike.
