The Brilliant Warm Silver
Glide 10877 Sterling is named for sterling silver -- the specific bright, warm, slightly lustrous silver of fine silverware. Of the Glide silver options, Sterling is positioned at the brightest, most vivid warm-silver end: more brilliantly silver than the warmer but slightly subtler Silver (10536), less cool and metallic than Mercury (10643). For applications where silver thread should read as distinctly, beautifully silver -- holiday work, metallic accents, and designs where silver is a primary element -- Sterling is the premium warm-silver choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sterling a true metallic thread?
No -- it is standard Glide trilobal polyester whose high sheen reads as metallic silver. It runs at full longarm speed with none of the breakage issues of metallic-fiber threads.
Sterling or Titanium for a silver-grey look?
Titanium is a light grey that integrates quietly; Sterling is a statement silver that shines. Blend with Titanium, feature with Sterling.
What does Sterling pair with on holiday quilts?
Bright whites like Blizzard for snow palettes, and the grey ladder (German Granite, Medium Grey) for the quiet passages around silver accents.
