Superior Threads OMNI 40wt Byzantine Purple 3118 brings rich purple color to quilting, embroidery, and creative sewing projects. Designed for quilters, longarm operators, and sewists who want their thread to complement or accent their fabric choices, Byzantine Purple adds depth to floral patterns, jewel-toned palettes, and decorative stitch designs. Its distinctive purple shade works equally well for coordinated stitching and intentional color contrast.
The 6,000-yard cone provides ample thread for large quilts, extended machine quilting sessions, garment construction, and other sewing projects. OMNI features a 2-ply poly-wrapped poly-core polyester construction and a smooth matte finish, making it suitable for quilting, high-speed sewing, serging, and everyday machine sewing where the thread weight and machine setup are appropriate.

Color-planning ideas for Byzantine Purple
Pair Byzantine Purple with lavender, plum, pink, gray, or cream for a balanced color palette. For tonal quilting, coordinate it with purple fabrics to keep the stitching visually integrated. On lighter fabrics, the purple thread can create more noticeable definition and draw attention to the quilting pattern.
For additional color combinations, consider Superior Threads OMNI Dark Purple for a deeper, tonal pairing or Superior Threads OMNI Baby Pink for a softer pink-and-purple contrast. Test the shades against your fabric to determine how much distinction you want between the thread and the finished project.
