A collaboration between Sewful Therapy and W+W Co:

This thread is 100% polyester and was sourced specifically to offer a glow option that wasn’t better suited for embroidery. Get something that will perform properly for its intended use because we can be tough on our bags!

Use UV light to “charge” the glow before viewing results. A black light gives the quickest results, but you can also set it in the sun.

Tex 50 is about the max end of what domestic machines can handle, but you all know your machines best so your results may vary. Each spool is 1800m. 

Tex 67 is intended for industrial use, but again, YMMV. Each spool in this size is 1350m due to the larger diameter of the thread.

For reference, the basic Gutermann Mara 100 is a Tex 30 thread and the Gutermann Mara 70 is a Tex 40, so the Tex50 thread is a little thicker than that. I would personally use a universal or topstitching 100/16 needle with this thread. (Don't... don't... don't use leather needles on vinyl!)

Kevin ★★★★★

It sewed beautifully through my denim repair project and the glow actually lasts for hours after a quick charge with a flashlight. Nice to have a thread that's genuinely useful for functional mending, not just decorative stitching.

Carter Z. ★★★★★

The glow payoff is seriously bright once it's charged under a lamp, and the 100% polyester build feels sturdy enough for regular hand sewing without fraying. I used it to outline a patch on a jacket and the effect lasted well past an hour in the dark.

Riley ★★★★★

Took this glow thread to a late-night sewing circle and it actually lit up the whole table for about 20 minutes after a quick charge under a lamp. The polyester feels smooth enough that it didn't snag in my machine like some novelty threads do.
