As a matte-gray color, it blends neutrally into other yarns. However, with a camera flash or car light, your design becomes luminously lit, adding an element of fun and flash. While it is not to be used as safety-rated material for nighttime jogging in your knitted dress, for example, the new yarn nevertheless provides light without weight and a 3-D effect without altering the aesthetic look of a design.
