Fil-Tec Glide 15497 Nickel Thread: The Warm Dark Grey for Traditional and Classic Quilts

The Warm Dark Grey

Nickel metal has a specific warm, dark grey quality -- not the cool steel of industrial grey, not the pure charcoal of near-black, but a warm, slightly brownish-grey that occupies a distinct position in the dark warm grey range. Glide 15497 Nickel captures this: a dark warm grey for applications where Warm Grey 6 is slightly too light and black is too dark. For very dark warm grey fabrics, deep taupe-grey backgrounds, and any design where grey should be dark and warm simultaneously, Nickel is the precise thread.
