Product Description
Muslin from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
Elegant cream for timeless detail
Muslin (2311) is a softly elegant cream shade that brings understated sophistication to your hand-stitched projects. Whether you’re outlining delicate embroidery or adding subtle contrast in your big stitch quilting, Muslin blends beautifully without overpowering your design.
Aurifil’s 8wt thread is their heaviest weight cotton, spun from long-staple Egyptian Mako fibres and mercerised for strength, sheen, and smooth stitching. It glides effortlessly through fabric with minimal tangles, making it a joy to use for handwork, embellishment, redwork, and visible mending.
Use Muslin when you want to highlight texture over colour—ideal for heirloom quilts, tone-on-tone stitching, or pairing with vintage florals and classic blocks. A gentle neutral that’s always in good taste.
