What is the glow in the dark amigurumi thread?
One of the main manufactures of this new thread for amigurumi is Círculo, they make this thread which simply glows in the dark.
The launch of this thread is very recent and the difference between it and the others is the light effect that happens only in the dark.
This thread can create a greenish fluorescent! This happens because it has a fiber composed of materials that enables this effect!
Due to a phosphorescent raw material, this thread (100% polyester) glows in the dark, for a limited time.
How the thread glows
The glow lasts for about 15 minutes, and for this to happen you will need to “charge” the item first.
It’s the time the item is being charged that defines if the glow will last longer or not. The way this charging takes place is through the item’s exposure to natural or artificial light.
In that way, the whole item must be in contact with light, for at least 1 hour, to be able to glow in the dark.
Important information about the glow in dark Amigurumi thread
Besides offering a sophisticated look to the item given by the glow, the quality of the thread is also excellent.
The thread is light and has the smallest thickness of all types of threads used in amigurumis manufacturing. Even though is a thin thread it yields much more. So far, the only color available for the glow-in-the-dark yarn is white.
To wash it you can use the same method suggested to all amigurumi threads, which is to clean it with mild soap and water.
Some people wonder if the material is toxic, don’t worry, the wire is completely safe, it is very well coated in a way that the phosphorescent material does not meet the skin.
