Quick take
A six-spool set of polyester fly tying thread with luminous properties that glow under UV light, 40 yards per spool.
This set holds six spools of 150 denier polyester filament floss, about 40 yards on each, in green, grey, pink, purple, white and fluorescent yellow. The strands run roughly 0.3mm across and glow in the dark, with a stronger effect when charged under UV light. Fly tiers can use it for ribbing, bodies and glowing accents on flies meant for low light.
