The Classic Sienna Earth Tone
Burnt Sienna is one of the oldest named pigment colours — a warm, reddish-brown with the specific quality of iron-rich Mediterranean earth. Glide 21615 Sienna delivers this colour as a thread: warm, reddish-tinged brown that serves Southwestern, artistic, and earth-palette quilts where rust is too orange and standard brown lacks the red warmth.
