Glow in the dark yarn

[ESTERHAZY]

Hi guys,

 

I was wondering if anyone has tried this out yet: http://www.ehow.com/how_5941486_make-own-glow-dark-yarn.html , and if they could share their experiences doing it. I'm looking for glow in the dark yarn (obviously haha) but I couldn't really find any. I know about the discontinued Bernat yarn, which I couldn't find on ebay. Does anyone know where else I could look? Also, do you think it would work if I just soaked my amigurumi in glow in diluted dark paint? :/

 

Thanks!

I've never tried to make my own glow in the dark, though it does sound like a cool experiment to try.

 

You could always do what I plan on doing when I make the trick or treat bags for my sister's kids. It's embroidery floss but I figure that if I use a strand of that with the yarn it will give it at least a little bit of glow. I'm planning on using this.

I don't know if it's still out at the craft stores but Bernat had glow in the dark yarn a few years ago because our local Michael's carried it.  Hancock's is showing the white but you might find the other colors on etsy or ebay.  Mary

I've seen it online but don't remember where offhand. A Google search will probably give you a lot of links. My kids used to have some glow in the dark toys when they were little. They occasionally stopped glowing in the dark. Fyi, I learned from experience that these need to be "recharged" once in a while. Just set it on the window sill during the day and let it absorb sunlight. Then they should be as good as new.
