80607 Lemon Ice Glide Polyester Thread - 5,500 yards King Spool
The 80607 Lemon Ice Glide Polyester Thread — 5,500 yards King Spool is a very soft, pale yellow longarm quilting thread from Hab+Dash. Lemon Ice is so light it reads almost as a warm white with just the faintest whisper of yellow — cooler and more delicate than Lemon, and more yellow than Pearl or Chiffon. It’s a dreamy, ethereal thread for baby quilts, spring designs, and wholecloth work where a barely-there pale yellow adds warmth without visible color.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Lemon Ice differ from Lemon (80101)?
- Lemon (80101) is a bright, vivid citrus yellow with clear color presence. Lemon Ice (80607) is much lighter — a barely-there pale yellow that reads almost as a very warm white in most quilting contexts. Use Lemon Ice when you want a near-white thread with the softest hint of warmth and yellow rather than a clearly yellow thread.
- What quilts is Lemon Ice best suited for?
- Lemon Ice is ideal for baby quilts where an almost-white thread with a whisper of warmth is desired, spring and Easter quilts with soft pastel palettes, and wholecloth quilting on pale yellow or cream-with-yellow-warmth fabrics where even Cream reads too warm.
- Is Lemon Ice a useful default neutral?
- Yes — Lemon Ice is popular as an alternative to Pearl or Cream for quilters who want a near-white with a very slight warmth. Studios that quilt a lot of soft pastel baby and spring quilts often keep Lemon Ice alongside Cream and Pearl as a third near-white option.
- What bobbin pairs best with Lemon Ice?
- A white or cream Magna-Glide bobbin works well — the difference between white and Lemon Ice bobbins is nearly imperceptible at quilting depth. On very pale yellow backings, a matching pale yellow bobbin is ideal.
- Is this thread year-round or seasonal?
- Year-round — the paleness of Lemon Ice makes it suitable across spring baby quilts, summer designs, and anytime a barely-there warm-white thread is preferred over stark white or visibly cream.
