Q: What shade is Lilac Glide?
A: Lilac is a soft, medium-light purple with a distinctly floral quality — brighter and more distinctly purple than lavender, softer and lighter than Amethyst. It reads as the classic lilac flower color, feminine and romantic.
Q: How does Lilac differ from Amethyst (42635) Glide?
A: Lilac is lighter and softer — Amethyst is a rich jewel-tone purple. For soft, delicate purple fabrics, Lilac provides more natural tonal blending; for rich, saturated purple fabrics, Amethyst is the better match.

A: 40-weight filament polyester with Glide's signature luster. 5,500 yards, lint-free, compatible with all major longarm machines.
