Thanks for the answer - I have an evergrowing stash of Gloriana - and love
it. I didn't like the feel of the older stuff when I first used it - felt
kind of dry to me, like some of the Silk'n Colors. But the last couple of
years (I think she may have altered her dying or handling) I've totally
fallen in love with it. And her reds in silks are just the best IMHO!
Great choice.
