I know I’ve posted this pattern here before but it seemed like a good quick pattern to try out the glow in the dark floss.

The verdict: this is much easier to deal with than my arch nemesis metallic floss. It does have some downsides in that the ends split pretty easily, and whatever it’s made out of is kinda plasticy and doesn’t really glide very well.

It wasn’t terrible to work with at all though and I’ll probably use it for parts of other patterns, but I wouldn’t want to make anything big just with this

For reference, here’s what it looks like with the lights on:

The picture didn’t load. For me at least.

I like the idea of having a hidden message or image that only shows up when the lights go off.

this is sick. well done. shame it’s plasticy- i have been intentionally not using anything with that texture because it all wears/weathers so terrribly- otherwise i might have to get some.

It loosens up a little as you work with it. It kinda just feels like regular floss but scratchier lol it’s not particularly stiff though
