While I was away at the Sydney Quilt Show, a package arrived from Alex of Aurifil Threads via the Australian distributor Always Quilting. The sample threads include Cotton Mako in plain and variegated colours in 12, 28, 40 and 50 thread weights and also some textured Wool Lana 12 that is 50% wool (apparently Australian!) and 50% acrylic. I also received two scrumptious colour charts:
Lint free, 100% cotton is my preferred thread for both piecing and quilting and I look forward to trying these samples out along with experimenting with the wool blend thread.

I just today finished off a spool of a neutral colored Aurifil Cotton Mako. I’m a little sad because it’s not as easy to get here in Hawaii as it was in Germany and, like you, I really enjoyed sewing with it.

Ooooooh, lucky you. I keep posting love notes to him about his thread, hoping to score some. I don’t know where to find it here in Portland.

I sure have been seeing these more and more around the Internet. I have never seen them locally. I may have to find some online so I can give them a try.
