I tried to call the shop a little while ago but didn't get an answer so I will try again in a few minutes.

Aurifil is just the best. I love how it just blends into the fabric. Once I tried it, I was converted. It has made a huge difference in my piecing. In the past I just bought whatever, not realizing the difference the size of thread can make. I don't use it for quilting because it is so expensive. I use CT instead. Whenever I pull it out (CT), I am amazed at how thick it is in comparison.

Plus Edyta Sitar uses Aurifil, and according to me, that woman can do no wrong.:D

I love aurafil thread, but I was noticing some breakage with the orange spools, I have switched to green, I think it's a teeny bit heavier. still great thread. Ask about that at your LQS??? maybe it's just me??. :icon_neutral: and I throw mine in the dryer all the time, with no problem.

This is what I use for most of my quilts, sort of an olivey-green. Besides Aurifil, I also love Superior Threads.

Denis suggested Aurifil to me when I first started here in the forum(ty Denis!). And I do LOVE it. I have tried other threads and always go back to Aurifil.

If you like to wind your own bobbins, this is a pretty good price:

Tristan Italian Threads *::*Aurifil Threads*::*Aurifil cotton bobbin in 80wt 17,000M black

I now have enough black bobbin thread for years and years.

The thread is 5021 - kind of a greenish-gray

This one is my very favorite for a lot of piecing, plus a beige one.

Are you able to get the thread number from the spool and post it? I use Aurifil, and I am interested in checking out this particular color. Thanks!
