Aurifil #2692 Black 50 Wt

I went through a whole sashiko panel with this and barely dented the spool — the 50 weight is thin enough that the stitches nearly disappear into the black fabric. No fraying or snapping even when I pulled a few stitches out to redo them.

The 220-yard spool is perfect for quick projects, and this 50 wt thread is noticeably finer than my usual all-purpose stuff. It handled beautifully for both hand basting and my machine's tension settings.

The 50 wt cotton glides through my machine without a single skip, and the 220-yard spool is perfect for piecing a full quilt top. Even under a magnifying lamp, the black reads crisp and clean on dark fabrics.
