YLI Threads

Machine Quilting, Hand Quilting, Soft Touch, Silk and Specialist Threads

We are UK suppliers of quality patchwork, quilting and sewing threads from YLI.

YLI Machine Quilting Thread is a high-quality, medium-weight, variegated cotton thread for decorative quilting. It is unglazed which makes it ideal for both hand and machine quilting (despite its name!).

YLI Glazed Hand Quilting Thread is a high-quality, medium weight, plain-coloured cotton thread. It is glazed which makes it excellent for hand quilting but means it cannot be used for machine quilting.

YLI Soft Touch is a high-quality, very fine, low-lint cotton thread. It is excellent for piecing, as a bobbin fill, and for specialist uses such as hand and machine appliqué, heirloom quilting, lace making and fine embroidery.

YLI Silk is a 100-wt thread and is just about the finest filament sik thread on the market. Excellent for hand and machine quilting, appliqué, heirloom quilting, lace making and fine embroidery.

In the Specialist and Utility Thread category, we have YLI Wonder Invisible thread, Wash-A-Way thread and Fusible thread. YLI Wonder Invisible is an ultra-fine monofilament nylon thread, perfect for machine appliqué, invisible hems, machine trapunto, machine quilting and many other techniques. Wash-A-Way is a water-soluble thread, perfect as an anchoring thread when you would rather wash the thread away than remove the stitches by hand. Fusible is a nylon thread that melts when ironed, useful in a number of techniques.
