The Natural Dolphin Grey
Glide 12332 Dolphin is the warm, naturally balanced medium grey of dolphin skin — a clean, warm, medium grey that works across the broadest range of grey fabrics. Named for the marine mammal with its specific warm grey, Dolphin serves as a reliable production grey for studios needing a warm-balanced medium grey with natural character. It sits between the lighter organic Glide 10465 Pebble and the cooler mid-tone Glide 17536 Ash, while Glide 17545 Starlight covers the palest end of the same grey production family.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Glide 12332 Dolphin a good all-purpose production grey?
Dolphin is a warm-balanced medium grey that blends acceptably across an unusually wide range of grey fabrics — warm greys, greige tones, and even some cool greys read well against it. That versatility makes it one of the first greys longarm studios stock when building a production thread wall.
Is Glide 12332 Dolphin warmer or cooler than Ash?
Dolphin is warmer. Ash is a cleaner, cooler mid-grey, while Dolphin carries a subtle warm, natural undertone. On warm-grey and taupe-leaning fabrics choose Dolphin; on cool concrete-grey or blue-grey fabrics, Ash blends better.
What bobbin thread pairs best with Glide 12332 Dolphin?
The matching Magna-Glide Delights bobbin in Dolphin gives a perfect match for edge-to-edge work. Because Dolphin is a true medium value, a Dolphin bobbin also works as a neutral under many mixed-grey and low-volume quilt tops when you don't want to swap bobbins between colour changes.
