I love this yarn!

I have knitted two hats and a pair of fingerless gloves with this yarn. I feel safer at night knowing oncoming vehicles can see the glitter of the reflective thread.

Pros
  • Locking Weight #5; also called Chunky, Craft or Rug yarn
Cons
  • Available in white only

does what it says on the tin

I have quite a few colors that I use to make bags for candy. It reflects very well. I'm not sure if crafting a wearable item would be the best solution. It's not too soft with metallic reflective tape. Photos are viewed in daylight and then in a dark room with a flash.

Pros
  • Made from 85% acrylic, 15% polyester
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.

Pleasantly surprised

I was very pleasantly surprised. When I first touched the yarn I was concerned that the reflective stripe would make it scratchy, but after finishing a few pieces I realized that wasn't the case. My finished products came out soft and non-irritating. Also the price was more than I wanted to pay initially but I made 3 wide ear muffs per ball which was enough for all the ladies in my running club and then some. It was a bit tricky to work with because the reflective tape wasn't always easy to…

Pros
  • The same batch of colors for all strands in the pack; Hand wash and dry flat
Cons
  • Doubtful
