Efina™ was developed for hand cotton appliqué. It is a 60wt 2 ply 100% Egyptian cotton, made exclusively from 100% premium fibre Giza – the highest calibre extra long staple Egyptian cotton. Fibres spun with this fibre are prized for their extreme softness, strength, and unparalleled lustre. Uniformity in diameter makes Efina™ the perfect choice for hand appliqué. Available in 60 original Sue Spargo colours on 1500yd spools. These colours match Sue’s Ellana™ wool thread and wool fabric lines so that projects can easily be coordinated.

Is Giza cotton thread stronger than regular cotton?

Yes! Giza cotton’s extra-long fibers make Efina™ more durable, less linty, and more resistant to fraying even with frequent handling, making it a great choice for hand or machine projects.

Why is Efina™ loved for hand appliqué?

Efina™ combines Egyptian cotton’s softness and strength with a smooth 2-ply 60wt construction. It has a great hand feel, and its subtle luster enhances visibility without overpowering wool or fabric textures.
