Frequently Asked Questions
How does Peppermint differ from a true Christmas red?
Peppermint carries a distinct pink influence — it is the red of striped candy rather than of holly berries. On candy-cane prints and sweet novelty fabrics it matches exactly; on deep traditional Christmas reds, a purer red like Imperial Red will read truer. The pink lean is the point, not a compromise.
What is the classic holiday pairing for Peppermint?
Christmas Pine for the green, white or Cool Grey 3 for the candy stripe, and Bright Gold for accents. Because all four are the same 40wt Glide polyester, thread changes across a multi-colour holiday quilt need no tension adjustment between colours.
Will Peppermint hold its colour through holiday-season washing?
Yes — Glide's dyed trilobal polyester is highly colourfast, so table runners and children's quilts that see heavy seasonal use and repeated washing keep the candy-bright red-pink without fading or bleeding into white fabrics.
