Gun Metal

Bold Contrast and Industrial Cool in Gun Metal Thread

Gun Metal thread brings rich, deep grey with a subtle blue undertone that adds edge and modern appeal to your quilting and embroidery projects. Its dark metallic tone evokes the look of brushed steel or smoky graphite—perfect for industrial designs, masculine quilts, or modern layouts that need strong, stylish definition.

Use it when your project needs depth, clarity, and a thread color that stands out without overpowering.

Smooth Stitching and Consistent Strength

Part of the Glide 40wt thread line, Gun Metal thread is crafted from trilobal polyester that glides cleanly through longarm and domestic machines. It holds tension flawlessly, resists fraying, and keeps lint low—even at high speeds. The soft sheen adds polish, while the dark tone enhances contrast across light, bright, or patterned fabrics.

Whether quilting sharp geometrics or outlining dramatic motifs, this thread performs with precision.

Ideal for Modern Quilts, Bold Borders, and Sharp Details

Pair Gun Metal thread with cool tones, brights, or light neutrals to build high-impact contrast and texture. It shines in background fills, sashing, topstitching, or heavy quilting that requires a refined, industrial tone. From contemporary designs to steampunk vibes, this thread brings style and sophistication to your stitching.

It’s a powerful neutral that blends flexibility with bold character.
