Frequently Asked Questions

Silver, Mercury, or Cool Grey 3 — the cool-grey lineup?

Brightness order: CG3 is the blending workhorse, Mercury the polished medium, Silver the luminous top — the one that reads almost-metallic. Blend with CG3, define with Mercury, shimmer with Silver.

The metallic-without-metallic pitch?

Real metallic thread shreds, frays, and demands special needles — Silver delivers most of the light-catch as ordinary lint-free filament poly at production speed. The practical shimmer.

How does it behave across values?

Bright accent on lights, tonal shimmer on mid-greys, near-metallic contrast on darks — one spool with three registers depending on the ground.

Signature use case?

Modern minimalist quilts on grey or white grounds — the silver line work reads contemporary in a way warm neutrals can't.

What's in the bobbin?

10CG3 Cool Grey 3 Magna-Glide — the cool-grey neutral that supports Silver's shimmer without competing on the back.
