Add a beautiful touch of contrast and personality to your quilting and sewing projects with Aurifil Mako 50wt Cotton Cone 4652 Licorice Twist.

Licorice Twist is a striking variegated thread featuring changing dark tones that bring depth, movement, and visual interest to your stitching. Its contrasting shades create a distinctive decorative effect as you sew, making it a wonderful choice for quilting designs where you want the thread itself to become part of the finished look.

This versatile thread complements black-and-white prints, charcoal greys, modern geometric fabrics, bold colours, and contemporary quilting palettes. Whether you're creating a dramatic patchwork quilt, adding texture to a whole cloth design, or looking for a thread that introduces interesting colour variation, Licorice Twist offers beautiful transitions without the need to change threads.

Aurifil 50wt is a popular 2-ply cotton thread known for its strength and fine profile. It creates beautifully flat, crisp seams with less bulk, making it an excellent choice for precision piecing while still providing the durability needed for machine and longarm quilting.

With an impressive 6,452 yards (5,900 metres) per cone, it's an economical and convenient choice for frequent sewists, larger quilting projects, and longarm quilting.
