Glowy (1,000m Miniking)

Let your embroidery shine

A yarn that glows in the dark? That's exactly what you get withGlowy– an innovative embroidery thread that will make your projects stand out not only by day but also by night. Whether on children's clothing, bags, Halloween costumes, or as a decorative highlight: this thread is a real eye-catcher.

In daylight, it appears white and neutral—perfect for clean, subtle details. But once charged, it begins to glow softly in the dark. This opens up entirely new possibilities for creative embroidery: safety accents, nighttime motifs, or simply a little "wow!" in the dark.

Thanks to its robust polyester fiber, Glowy is not only a fancy yarn, but also perfectly suited for everyday use – tear-resistant, washable, and compatible with all standard embroidery machines. This turns your embroidery idea into a true highlight – day and night.

Product information

overview

Glowy is a specialized 100% polyester machine embroidery thread characterized by its glow-in-the-dark properties. Available in white, it's a 40 count thread, making it suitable for precise, consistent embroidery patterns on a wide variety of textiles.

The yarn absorbs light in daylight or artificial lighting and emits it in the dark as a gentle afterglow. This property makes it ideal for projects with decorative or functional requirements—such as nightwear, bags, reflective embroidery, or creative designs for children.

Due to its high tear resistance, Glowy is also suitable for heavily used textiles. Polyester as the carrier material ensures durability, dimensional stability, and longevity. The yarn is suitable for all common household embroidery machines and is easy to work with.
