I've never heard of it, but I think if you test samples of different
fibers under black lights, you will find out what fibers glow and then
just look for yarn of those fibers. I think acrylics are more likely to
glow than any natural fibers, but I don't know which ones.

I looked all over the label, but didn't see any manufacturer listed.
Maybe you could e mail hearts strings and ask them, or ask if they may
know of a Canadian distributer.

Who is the manufacturer? HeartStrings is in the U.S., and I wondered
whether anyone knows of a Canadian retailer that carries it.

Thanks,

Is the NEON yarn you are looking for the same as glow in the dark. Marie
on
this group bought some and has made some granny squares using it.

This is the kind I bought, it's a cream colored nylon yarn that
glows in the dark. Holds it's glow for up to 4 hours after the lights
are off. My 16 year old has a black light in his bedroom, so I just
checked out the yarn - WOW !!! It has a fantastic, strong glow,
looks an eerie Halloweenish green color, very bright, awesome. You
can buy this yarn at http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com. The shop
owner was very quick with my order, it was across the country and in
my mailbox in 3 days!!!! The yarn is composed of many, many fine
fibers, loosely spun so it can be a bit fiddly to work with, just take
your time. I think you'll be very pleased wth it. The afghan I made
my future DIL is holding up very well, and washing doesn't affect the
glow.
