OMG Noreen .. WHERE did you get them!
Sounds fascinating.
Hugs, Katherine
I MADE them, Kat! My friend, Bill, now deceased, was a chemist and he left me lots of fun stuff to play with. We took some glow in the dark stuff down by Bills' nephew, Jason, who powder-coated some old metal straight needles for me! I think I MIGHT talk to Bills son, BJ, who's also a chemist, get some more 'stuff' and SELL them! Hugs, Noreen
Katherine, IF I can get more stuff, and MARKET them, you'll be first to know vis-a-vis our "IM" conversation of earlier! Hugs, Noreen
Sounds good to me!
Hugs, Katherine
Woohoo!!!

Wow , that reads/sounds great , is it useful in a not to well lit room ? does it help knitting Darker colors ? Is it safe to use ? mirjam
Hi Mirjam,
We must date ourselves as I remember when that happened with the watches too. We watched at TV show about those ladies a few years ago. Tom says even the glow in the dark toys they have in the summer he wonders how safe they are.
Hugs,
Nora
Much different formulations than back then... I mean, we even have glow in the dark YARN now, meant to be WORN. JM2C Noreen who is of the adage: don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you read, LOL
Sort of. I have an old glowing plastic toy (from the 1950s) that I think is safe enough - it's in the plastic, not painted on - but I still wonder about some items.
If you read the website for the glow-in-the-dark yarn, there are two different formulations. The one that only glows for a short time seems okay, like the glow-paint we can get now, but the long-term glow yarn is made with strontium! Anybody remember milk contaminated with strongium-90 from fallout?
