Aurifil thread in Lancaster, PA area?
 
I am going to be in Lancaster, PA on Saturday. Does anyone know of any shops that sell Aurifil thread? I'm hoping to find a shop that has all of the weights but I would be happy to find any of the weights but a full range of colors.

Thanks!

If you don't find a store that carries them, Hawthorne Threads stocks all the weights in all the colors, reasonable prices and their shipping charges are minimal.

Burkholder's in Denver, PA carries some Aurifil thread but I'm not sure about all of the weights.

Although Burkholder's is a bit out of the way, it is a wonderful fabric store with lots of choices.....my favorite!!

Hawhtorne Threads are great. I've purchased from them a few times.

I will definitely see if we can head out that way.

Hinkletown sewing machine has a pretty decent amount of aurifil. Good prices, too. It's located on the owner's farm. They have a very large selection of Isacord, too. I live in the area and I think they have the biggest selection that I know of. Here's their info: Hinkletown Sewing Machine Shop, 232 Wanner Rd., Ephrata, PA 17522. 717-354-0204.

Also, Green Fairy Quilts (online) is having a sale on aurifil thread.

Only made it to two shops yesterday and neither had aurifil thread. The upside of that was i did get about 8 yards of fabric, mostly batiks, for only $77! Now to wash it all and start slicing and dicing so i have a prayers chance of getting this quilt done on time!

Sorry i wasn't more help.

Thanks for checking for me. Sounds like you got some awesome deals. I can't wait to go on Saturday. My goal for today is to get all of my chores done so that I can make my list tomorrow. I'm going to try to make it to Burkholder's but I will probably end up ordering from Hawthorne Threads. They are here in New York.

Old Country Store is having a sale. If you've not been there before, definitely stop there. Zooks is a couple of doors away. Both have tremendous selections. Old Country Store has one of the best batik selections I've seen anywhere. If you are looking for flannel, you absolutely MUST go to Quilt and Fabric Shack in Bird-in-Hand (about 15 minutes from the other 2 on the same road). They have an entire room of flannel! And very high quality. Large selection of extra wide backing as well.

Enjoy your trip.
