Aurifil is excited to announce the launch of Thread Labs 2.0, the sophisticated successor to our inaugural educational subscription. Building upon the foundational knowledge provided in 2023, the 2024 program will offer an intriguing exploration of techniques and applications, guided by a distinguished team of educators. From July to December, 2024 participants will engage in an immersive learning experience, covering a diverse range of skills from Foundation Paper Piecing to Machine Quilting, through the practical use of various Aurifil thread weights.
Thread Labs is an essential resource for both seasoned Aurifil users and those new to Aurifil products. Each session, developed by esteemed Aurifilosophers and Designers, includes an exclusive project that serves as both an educational tool and a source of inspiration for the featured thread weights. The subscription box delivers a meticulously selected assortment of threads, along with access to Aurifil’s secure online portal provides subscribers with access to a wealth of exclusive materials, including project PDFs, interviews with educators, tutorials, special offers, and more.
The first lab, Lab 2.1, grants early access to the Aurifilosophy Cool Thread Exemplar, a compact spool storage case, and a unique thread tracking booklet. Aurifil Designer Nicholas Ball will lead subscribers through a creative project that utilizes several thread weights included in the Thread Exemplar, while tutoring via exclusive video content to ensure a comprehensive learning experience for all proficiency levels. Subsequent labs will introduce new educators, thread assortments, and innovative techniques, fostering an environment where creativity and skill development flourish.
