Glow in the Dark Yarn 50 g – Blue
Code: 375Product detailed description
In the blue glow in the dark yarn the luminous strand is visible even by daylight – it runs through the yarn as a lighter thread and gives it a mélange look that works even when nothing is glowing. After dark it glows green, not blue – the pigment sets the colour of the glow, not the yarn – and glows more softly than white. If a strong glow is what you want, choose white; blue is for anyone who wants a blue yarn first, one that does not disappear in the dark.
Mélange by day, a soft glow at night
On a rug, blue suits anything meant to be water, sky or night – waves, a starry sky, space motifs. Combined with white for the stars you get a two-level effect: bright points on a softly glowing surface.
✔ Visible strand by day ✔ Soft green glow ✔ Tufting & crochet
How it glows
It charges from daylight, a lamp or a phone torch. The longer it sits in the light, the longer it glows – most clearly for roughly the first ten minutes after the lights go out, then fading gradually.
Working with it
It goes into a tufting gun like regular tufting yarn – about 3 mm, cut or loop – and is equally suitable for crochet and knitting. A ball holds 50 g and about 60 m. Make the base from regular yarn and keep the glow yarn for what should be visible in the dark.

FAQ
How long does it glow?
Strongest for roughly the first ten minutes after charging, then fading gradually. It depends on how long and how strongly it was charged.
How do I charge it?
Daylight, a lamp or a phone torch. By a window it takes a few seconds even on an overcast day.
How do I care for a finished piece?
We recommend hand-washing in lukewarm water and drying flat. The pigment is not used up by glowing – it recharges again and again.
Can I use it in a tufting gun?
Yes, the yarn is tested for tufting. Choose the number of strands as you would for regular yarn of a similar weight.
Does it glow under a UV lamp?
This is luminous yarn, not UV-reactive yarn – it is not made for blacklight.
Combine it with regular yarn. Glow in the dark yarn works best as an accent on a rug made from regular yarn – see the other colours in the glow in the dark yarn category, our tufting yarn and our tufting guns.
