Product Description
Ocher Yellow from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
Warm golden glow for hand-stitched charm
Ocher Yellow (5001) brings a golden honey hue to your hand-stitching, radiating warmth and vintage charm. This inviting shade adds richness to embroidery, big stitch quilting, and visible mending—offering just the right balance between earthy and bright.
Aurifil’s 8wt cotton thread is made from premium long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton and mercerised for strength and a gentle sheen. The heavier weight gives it beautiful definition on the surface of your quilt or garment, gliding through layers with ease and very little lint.
Pair Ocher Yellow with navy, rust, moss green, or charcoal grey for rich, grounded colour palettes. It’s a classic tone that adds antique beauty to traditional projects and bold impact to modern ones.
