Bring a touch of rich, jewel-toned elegance and vibrant colour to your quilting and sewing projects with Aurifil Mako 50wt Cotton Cone 6738 Peacock Blue.

Peacock Blue is a beautiful, captivating blue thread inspired by the magnificent plumage of a peacock, shimmering tropical waters, and the rich colours found in nature. Its striking colouring offers a lovely balance between deep blue and subtle teal undertones, making it a wonderful choice for both traditional and contemporary quilting projects.

This gorgeous shade pairs beautifully with turquoise blues, rich teals, emerald greens, deep navy, golden yellows, warm purples, crisp whites, and colourful botanical prints. Whether you're creating a dramatic patchwork quilt, adding definition to applique designs, or looking for a sophisticated blue thread to complement your favourite fabrics, Peacock Blue brings depth, richness, and personality to your stitching.

As a solid-colour thread, Peacock Blue provides consistent colour throughout your stitching, making it ideal for coordinating seams, decorative quilting, and projects where you want a beautiful, uniform finish.
