Reflective

 One of the types of yarn I enjoyed using was the Red Heart reflective yarn.  Here is an example of my using it as a contrasting band in a hat.

I've also used it in entire hats, as well as to make high-visibility wrist bands.

Unfortunately, none of the local yarn stores carry it anymore, and while I can buy it online, I really prefer not to, if possible.

Instead, my darling husband found an alternative for me.

This is a nylon reflective sewing thread. This is something that can be used in sewing machines, if desired.

Here is how it looks with flash.  

The beauty of this is that I can use it to make any yarn reflective.  I tested it out by making a simple bracelet.

First, in normal light.

Now with flash.

I think that worked our rather well!

I look forward to using it with other types of yarn, or even with crochet thread.  There's a lot on the cone, so this is something that will last for quite a few projects!

I'm quite pleased with it.
