Product Description
Pale Green from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
A fresh, leafy hue for light and lively stitching
Pale Green (2880) is a gentle, spring-inspired shade that adds a soft and refreshing touch to hand quilting, embroidery, and big stitch details. This light green carries hints of mint and meadow—perfect for botanical themes or subtle tonal work.
Aurifil’s 8wt thread is the heaviest cotton they offer, spun from premium long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton. It’s mercerised for sheen and durability, and glides easily through fabric with minimal tangling or lint—ideal for visible stitches that pop with texture.
Try pairing Pale Green with lilac, coral, ivory, or deeper greens for a light-and-shade effect. It’s a great choice for nature-inspired work or as a gentle contrast against warm backgrounds.
