Aurifil Designer IL SALOTTO (the village) Advent Calendar

*** PRE-ORDER - begins shipping in November 2026

Introducing Il Salotto, Aurifil’s 2026 advent calendar. Designed as a celebration of creativity, comfort, and the art of making by hand, this year’s calendar invites you to slow down and savour the season - one thoughtful stitch at a time. Behind each door awaits a beautifully curated spool of Aurifil’s premium 100% cotton thread, offering a quiet moment of inspiration each day. With 12 small spools of our versatile Cotton 50wt and 12 small spools of our richly textured Cotton 12wt, this collection was created to support piecing, quilting, and embellishing alike, honouring every facet of the maker’s craft.

Rooted in the foothills of the Italian Alps, our surroundings continue to shape our story. For this third chapter, our inspiration moves beyond the mountains and village streets, guiding us inward— to the warmth and intimacy of home. Here, where winter settles gently against the windows, creativity flourishes in its most meaningful form.

Il Salotto was thoughtfully designed to celebrate creativity, connection, and the beauty of making by hand. Each spool inside has been selected to inspire your stitching journey, while the accompanying secure online portal— exclusive to calendar holders— offers a collection of digital goodies to enrich the experience along the way.

As an added touch of magic, five (5) sets worldwide will include a rare golden spool. Should you discover one, you’ll receive an exclusive Aurifil prize valued at over $300 USD.

The thread palette of 24 hues includes 5 brand-new, limited-edition hues exclusive to this advent calendar and a medley of Aurifil's cotton thread weights.
