The Spiaggia Rosa sparkles and glistens in the Summer sun. Waves lap at the shore while your feet slowly sink deeper into the pink sand. You stand, perfectly still, a light breeze brushing your skin. You look out over the sprawling turquoise of the Mediterranean Sea, taking in the subtle scents of the flowering Mirto plants in the distance.

An evening stroll through the narrow streets of Verona leads you to an outdoor café in the Piazza overlooking the Colosseum. The sun is just starting to set, casting a soft light on the magnificent stone structure. You find a table, order a cocktail, and take in the jovial sounds of Figaro’s Aria from Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia taking place inside.

Welcome to the first month of our #Aurifil Color Builder Subscription program! Each month, we’ll introduce a box featuring a new hue, a new chance at your next best project. Aurifil Color Builders are a capsule of twelve curated mini collections inspired by and named after Italy's most vibrant and colorful destinations. Each collection contains three large spools of 50wt thread -- a warm, a medium, and a dark -- within the location's primary color palette.

January features Milan Grey, cool tones inspired by a brisk walk through the city, down narrow cobblestoned streets, with the noise of trams and weaving vespas giving way to the morning bustle.

We’ll feature these threads throughout January with special projects, events, and via the Aurifil Designer Block of the Month!
