Aurifil is 100% Egyptian Cotton, grown in the Mako region of Egypt along the river Nile. When considering the unique qualities of cotton, it’s easy to make a comparison to wine; different geographic regions offer different attributes to the raw material. Aurifil thread is "long staple", which refers to the length of the fibers in the raw cotton boll. The length of the fibers determines the quality and strength of the cotton.
