https://www.tristan.bc.ca/ I just got an order a few weeks ago for Aurifil, I bought light colours for piecing at $3.00 a spool. I think the company is reducing or clearing their line of this thread for another brand.

The Genziana Cotton Mako cost a little more then the Aurifil on the website but I think it's because the Aurifil is being sold cheaper to get it out of the warehouse. I have giant spools of the Aurifil neutral colors when the site first put all the Aurifil on clearance some years ago. I can remember when Aurifil was first introduced to the US at quilt market. It was on QNTV online. I thought that sounds like great thread so I started searching online for a distributor and found the Tristan site.

Having paid for two daughters in different colleges the same time has immunized DH and me from sticker shock ever again. Nothing I buy for quilting can come close to matching that. LOL

I buy mine either at the local quilt shop or online @ www.redrockthreads.com. Its $10.95 for the 1422 yd spool. Its great thread, I've become a thread snob. haha

Aurifil, when you do the math on the amount of thread you get on a spool, is not one of the expensive threads. Mettler and Gutermann both come in almost twice as expensive.
