Let your embroidery shine

Product details

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.

FAQ

Further information in our frequently asked questions.

How does the glow work with Glowy embroidery thread?

The yarn charges when exposed to light (e.g. daylight or a lamp) and then glows in the dark for a while – without any batteries or electricity.

Is the yarn washable?

Yes, the yarn is easy-care and washable. For optimal brilliance, we recommend air-drying and avoiding excessive heat.
