Aurifil Mako 50wt Cotton Thread Cone - 4665 Graphite

Bring a touch of sophisticated colour and modern elegance to your quilting and sewing projects with Aurifil Mako 50wt Cotton Cone 4665 Graphite.

Graphite is a beautiful variegated thread inspired by the rich, understated tones of natural graphite and charcoal. Its changing grey shades create subtle movement, depth, and visual interest as you stitch, making it a wonderful choice for decorative quilting and projects where you want the thread itself to become part of the design.

This versatile thread pairs beautifully with black-and-white prints, charcoal greys, silvery neutrals, modern geometric fabrics, and contemporary quilting palettes. Whether you're creating a striking monochromatic quilt, adding texture to a whole cloth design, or looking for a thread that introduces understated colour variation, Graphite 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.
