Aurifil Thread Labs - Thread Lab 1.1

Description

Thread Labs is a six part series that tells the story of Aurifil– from their history and unique production process to an in-depth education on their revered threads. It was developed as a no-fuss program for you in reaction to the increased consumer demand for thread education. As you work through each Thread Lab, you will gain the necessary tools to more confidently create with a variety of thread weights and techniques, and you will finish the year inspired, armed with new skills and a wealth of knowledge.

The Thread Lab series is a must-have for both the Aurifil enthusiast and novice. Each lab presents a project designed to educate and inspire via a featured thread weight. A secure online portal plays host to exclusive content including downloadable project PDFs, educator interviews, thread tutorials, and more.
