The Natural Shell Colour
Glide 24535 Shell captures the specific delicate warmth of natural sea shells — a soft, slightly pink-ivory that reads as the warmest near-neutral. On fabrics with the subtle rosy-ivory quality of natural shell, Shell thread integrates where Bone is slightly too cool and First Kiss is slightly too pink. It is the thread for coastal, romantic, and natural-palette quilts where the background has gentle shell warmth.
