New Aurifil 50/2 Thread Cones and our New Thread Cone Holders  | Any quilter or seamstress who likes to save time and money using cones of thread knows how important it is to have a stable cone thread holder. Each of these Coneflower thread holders is handmade from recycled steel, welded together in one piece, no screws, nothing to assemble. Every Coneflower is signed by Paul Boyum and finished with clearcoat for a deep, durable, long lasting finish. Many Coneflowers are similar, but because they are handmade no two are ever exactly the same. Coneflowers are available in four different designs and deliver large cones of thread to your sewing machine and hold spare bobbins at the same time! To accompany the Coneflowers we have three new thread cones of Aurifil Mako 50/2 thread. This excellent cotton piecing thread has a mighty 5950m of thread on each cone and is available in White, Ecru and Light Grey. |
