AURIfil Thread Labs 2.0 Subscription

We are 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, participants will engage in an immersive learning experience, covering a diverse range of skills from FPP 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, while the 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.

What is the Aurifil Thread Labs 2.0 Subscription Box program?
Threads Labs is a monthly education subscription program running from July to December 2024.  Subscribers will receive a monthly thread box. Over the course of the six months, you will gain all the necessary tools to more confidently create with a variety of thread weights and techniques, finishing the year inspired and armed with new skills and a wealth of knowledge.

How is Thread Labs 2.0 different than Thread Labs 1.0?
Thread Labs 2.0 builds on the educational foundation set by Thread Labs 1.0. The program features six new educators highlighting custom curated ranges of threads for 6 new projects. Boxes are focused on technique and on inspiring new and creative use of Aurifil threads. There are no repeats and subscribers who participated in Thread Labs 1.0 can expect a unique program experience with Thread Labs 2.0.

I didn’t participate in Thread Labs 1.0… can I still dive in to Thread Labs 2.0?
Yes, absolutely! Knowledge gained in Threads Labs 1.0 is not required for success with Thread Labs 2.0. That said, if you’re interested in gaining detailed knowledge of Aurifil’s history and a peek at our production process in addition to an in depth thread education on our available products, we’d highly recommend getting in touch to learn more about Thread Labs 1.0.

What is included in the boxes?
Each box will include a range of Aurifil threads relevant to that month’s featured thread weight + technique along with access to a secure portal containing education materials & projects, exclusive videos, a monthly giveaway, and partner offers. Lab 1.1 (July) will be the largest box featuring an Aurifilsophy thread set (7 Small Spools/7 Thread Weights), an Aurifil Storage Case, and Aurifil’s newfangled Thread Swatch Book.

How long will content be available online?
Monthly secure online portals will remain active through June 30, 2025.
