Glow in the Dark Yarn – 120 Yards per roll – Fingering Weight

Oh my!! This is so fun ~ Glow in the dark yarn! Not plastic or cord, but actual yarn. I have been told that a black light is the best way to “charge” your glow in the dark items, so grab one of those as well if you don’t have one ~ here is an affiliate link of some options for black lights.

This 4-ply fingering weight yarn is great for all kinds of craft projects. It is white in color but glows green in the dark. Charges best with natural, full spectrum, fluorescent, or black light. Takes only a few minutes to charge and glows for an hour or more. The glow strength is stronger at first gradually fading to an after glow over time.

Each roll is 50 grams – about 120 yards
100% polyester
Machine wash / Dry flat
Fingering weight – 4 ply

This yarn can be purchased from Amazon US from this affiliate link:

Silhouette Hot Mats by Frances Hughes

I really love adding a touch of crochet to my home decor, and these hot mats are a great way to do just that! Plus, they are quite lovely and would make beautiful holiday ornaments or wall hangings as well. I could see myself making them in sets, stitching them together and stuffing them to make classic Christmas tree decorations! They are double layered, so they would hold the stuffing nicely. Or just hot mats. Hot mats are nice, too.
