I’m with Suzy at The Enriched Stitch when she says she loves Neon Rays. I do too! I love that it gives me that rayon shine but isn’t nearly as cranky as other rayons I’ve used.
I keep a nice stockpile of it on hand for when I need shine.
Suzy has a great blog post in her Thread Thursday series about Neon Rays with lots of great tips.
i’d add just a couple more.
- Although this thread is hardier than many silks, it will snag. Be careful if your hands are dry.
- As the thread is used the tail will start to splay and will get dull. Dullness can also occur if you unstitch and restitch. If it becomes matte or is getting towards this area, end the thread and start with a new one.
