Introducing Il Borgo
Aurifil’s 2025 Advent Calendar is designed to capture the magic of the season through a maker’s lens. This year’s calendar invites quilters to rediscover the joy of anticipation — one colorful surprise at a time. Behind each door awaits a perfectly curated spool of Aurifil’s premium 100% cotton thread, ready to spark inspiration, creativity, and a few joyful moments just for you.
It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, nostalgia, and the simple pleasure of a holiday tradition reimagined for the creative spirit of today.
A Palette Inspired by Tradition
The 24 hues include five brand-new, limited-edition colors exclusive to this advent calendar, along with a medley of Aurifil’s cotton thread weights — including the new Cotton 8wt/2ply and Cotton 6-strand divisible floss.
Inspired by the mountain villages of the Italian Alps, the collection carries warmth, depth, and heritage. Each spool is more than thread — it’s a moment, a color story, a reflection of winter’s quiet beauty.
The Story of Il Borgo
Under the soft, pearlescent light of early morning, the mountain village stirred quietly in the crisp, cool air...
Snowcapped rooftops, lanterns glowing in warm gold, cranberry shutters, pine-draped window boxes, and coppery candlelight... every detail of the alpine setting influenced the palette of Il Borgo. From roasted chestnuts and citrus peel to crystalline icicles and children’s colorful scarves, this calendar celebrates the season through color, light, and memory.
As evening settles, the palette reflects violet skies, flickering candles, and a timeless warmth that turns thread into story, and color into joy. Each spool holds a piece of this alpine village, designed to inspire makers everywhere.
