    Default Glow In The Dark Embroidery Floss?

    I'm intrigued, but right now, all I know is that it's a DMC floss.

    Hopefully, someone knows something and can help me learn more about it.

    Is it a six-strand?
    Is it similar texture to traditional floss?
    What's it like to work with? (if not like traditional)
    Does it keep it's GITD-ability after laundering?
    What's "different" about it, compared traditional floss? (other than it's GITD-ability!)
    Any reasons to not use it?

    Any other tips, tricks, hints, info, pros/cons, etc.?

    Thanks in advance, Everyone!!

    I just bought some at HL! It is the same 6-strand floss as the others. I do know that the glow in the dark fabric from Michael Miller warns that it will only last for about 6 washings.

    Thanks Aashley ... I've never worked with GITD fabric before,
    or the GITD machine thread. Haven't even seen the GITD floss yet.

    So anything-GITD is all new to me!!
    And thus why I am looking for input from anyone and everyone
    as to what I should know before I consider working with it.
