Innovative thread technology for versatile textiles

Gunold’s "Glowy" thread introduces a unique combination of functionality and aesthetics to the textile industry. This specialty thread appears in soft pastel shades during the day and transforms into a bright fluorescent green at night, creating a striking visual effect. The fluorescence is activated by UV light, as special pigments in the thread convert invisible ultraviolet rays into visible light. This dual functionality makes "Glowy" an excellent choice for applications requiring both subtle daytime elegance and nighttime visibility.

Applications across industries

"Glowy’s" versatility is evident in its wide range of applications. It is particularly suited for children’s textiles, such as pajamas, blankets, and stuffed toys. Additionally, the thread is highly effective for safety features, allowing logos, lettering, or motifs to remain discreet during the day and become visible in the dark. Designers can also use "Glowy" for creative accents on apparel, accessories, and promotional textiles, adding a unique touch to their creations.

Sustainability and ease of use

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, "Glowy" meets sustainability standards with its Oeko-Tex certification. The thread is composed of 56% polyester and 44% polypropylene, ensuring durability and maintaining its fluorescent properties for up to 50 wash cycles. Available in seven pastel shades, "Glowy" corresponds to embroidery thread size 40 and is easy to work with using standard needles, such as ORGAN No. 75/11 SES.

"Glowy" thread by Gunold offers textile professionals a practical solution that combines design and functionality.
