Aurifil 50wt Mako Cotton Thread - Marrakesh 3817

Bring rich colour and beautiful movement to your stitching with Aurifil 50wt Mako Cotton Thread – Marrakesh 3817. This gorgeous variegated thread blends warm, earthy tones inspired by sun-drenched markets, spices and layered desert hues, creating subtle colour changes that add depth and interest as you sew. The variegated effect means your stitches gently shift in tone across your project, giving quilting and decorative stitching a unique finished look.

Made from premium 100% long-staple Egyptian Mako cotton, Aurifil's much-loved 50wt thread is fine, strong and low lint, delivering beautifully flat seams and smooth stitching performance. The iconic orange spool has become a favourite among quilters for good reason — it works effortlessly for piecing, quilting, applique and everyday sewing.

The generous 1300m spool keeps you stitching longer with fewer thread changes, making it ideal for larger projects and regular sewing sessions.
