The Gemstone Dark Red
Garnet is the gemstone-red — a specific deep, slightly warm-purple dark red that reads as more precious and complex than standard dark red. Glide 77427 Garnet is this colour as thread: the deep, gemstone-quality dark red for jewel-tone quilts, luxury designs, and any application where dark red should feel genuinely precious. It completes the Glide gemstone thread family alongside Ruby, Zaffre, Aquamarine, and Amethyst.
