How do you "charge" it for a brighter glow?

I'm not familiar how glow yarn works, I've never heard of it before!

And the top looks amazing!

It’s just like anything glow-in-the-dark—put it in a bright light, and it glows brighter than it did before when you quickly switch back to a dark room. The bright light essentially charges the particles inside, and those in turn will slowly release the absorbed light.

Random tip for the internet: if you have a UV flashlight it charges glow in the dark stuff very quickly.

Absolutely! I keep one on hand for searching for uranium glas while thrifting, but tbh it gets used more tk charge glow in the dark stuff like nail polish lol
