Product Description
Raisin from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
A deep, rich burgundy with warm brown undertones
Raisin (2345) is a luscious dark red-brown shade, evoking dried fruit, earthy spice, and vintage elegance. It’s a grounded yet luxurious colour perfect for autumnal quilts, bold hand stitching, or statement details in embroidery work.
Aurifil's 8wt thread is made from premium 100% Egyptian Mako cotton—smooth, strong, and easy to work with for hand quilting, big stitch accents, sashiko, or embellishment. This thread adds beautiful texture and contrast, even on darker fabrics.
Try pairing Raisin with mustard, dusty lilac, or sage for a vintage-inspired palette with warmth and depth.
