Aurifil Mako Cotton Thread Solid 50wt 1422yds – Baby Pink A1050-2423

Aurifil’s 50wt/2ply Mako cotton is the brand’s most versatile and most popular thread, wound on the iconic orange spool. This Baby Pink shade (A1050-2423) is a soft, sweet pink that works beautifully for piecing, quilting, applique, and decorative stitching on baby quilts, apparel, and feminine projects.

The 50wt thread is strong, thin, and low-lint, resulting in remarkably flat and crisp seams. It glides smoothly through your machine and is suitable for both domestic and longarm use, making it a go-to choice for everything from subtle quilting and topstitching to dense background designs and fine machine embroidery.
