Product Description
Rusty Orange from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
A warm, earthy tone with autumnal charm
Rusty Orange (2240) is a deep, burnt sienna shade that evokes the colours of changing leaves, crackling campfires, and aged copper. It’s the perfect choice for cosy hand-quilted projects, folk-style embroidery, or adding characterful accents to patchwork pieces.
Made from 100% Egyptian cotton, Aurifil’s 8wt thread is strong yet soft, designed for handwork techniques like big stitch quilting, decorative stitching, and needle-turn appliqué. This colour pairs beautifully with natural linens, navy blues, and olive greens for an autumn-inspired palette.
Whether you're outlining motifs or embellishing rustic makes, this thread brings the warmth of the season to your stitches.
