Product Description
Steampunk from the Aurifil 8wt Collection
A cool, industrial taupe with vintage flair
Steampunk (6730) is a smoky grey-taupe with just the right amount of edge. With a soft matte sheen and a neutral undertone, it’s the perfect thread for antique-inspired hand stitching, visible mending, or adding earthy detail to your next quilt project.
Aurifil 8wt thread is strong, smooth, and easy to handle—crafted from 100% long staple Egyptian cotton. Ideal for big stitch quilting, embroidery, hand tying, or Sashiko-style embellishment.
A grounding companion to rich reds, rusts, or teals—this one plays beautifully with both warm and cool tones.
