42562 Periwinkle Glide Polyester Thread is a soft, dreamy periwinkle blue-violet with Glide's beautiful luster — one of the most beloved and distinctive colors in the Glide lineup, capturing the unique quality of periwinkle that is neither quite blue nor quite purple but perfectly and distinctly both, creating luminous tonal quilting on periwinkle, soft blue-violet, and wisteria-toned backgrounds.
Q: What shade is Periwinkle Glide?

Q: What quilts work best with Periwinkle Glide?
