The Classic Violet
Glide 40255 Violet is the straightforward, clean medium violet — not tending strongly toward blue-violet or red-violet, but the balanced, classic purple that reads as pure violet. On medium-purple fabrics and any quilt where purple should be simply, clearly violet, this is the most versatile and widely applicable Glide purple thread.
