KR - Reflective Yarn - Fine #8 Braid

A knitting, weaving, and crochet yarn that will literally light up your life. Kreinik's unique Reflective Yarn is used as a carry-along fiber to add light-reflecting properties to any project. As a matte-gray color, it blends neutrally into other yarns. However, with a camera flash or car light, your design becomes luminously lit, adding an element of fun and flash. While it is not to be used as safety-rated material for nighttime jogging in your knitted dress, for example, the new yarn nevertheless provides light without weight and a 3-D effect without altering the aesthetic look of a design. It's a fun new toy for fiber enthusiasts to create a new era of fashion-forward reflective patterns.

How To Use Reflective Yarn: Use Kreinik Reflective Yarn as a carry-along fiber with other yarns to accent certain areas, or use in duplicate stitch.

Yarn Specs: It is made of 22% polyester, 53% glass beads, 12% phenolic resin and 13% adhesive. Can be dry cleaned and washed (40 C/104 F). Do not use bleach. Iron on low. Not dye resistant. Not to be relied upon as your sole nighttime safety garment; use it along with other safety rated reflective material.

You can also use this thread in needlepoint (for dog collars, belts, purses, flip flops, for instance); it is the equivalent weight of Fine #8 Braid.

Reflective Yarn is available on 25-yard spools by default (larger cones might be available via special order, but Kreinik was recently sold to another company, and we're not sure how that's going to work yet. Free free to ask, but we can't make any promises.)
