Have any of you used the solar color changing threads?? I'm thinking about buying some but wanted a little feedback.

Concept is they're a light/whitish colored thread indoors, then brighten when taken outside into the sun.... Sounds fun and interesting, especially for things like bags, or the walker and wheelchair organizers I've been making. Or even on doggy harnesses.....! I just don't want to waste the money (they're a little pricey) if they don't actually work.

So, anyone?? Or will I have to be the guinea pig lol.

I haven't tried the thread yet, but I have a couple T shirts with solar color changing iron ons... they work great!

I have not tried them either. Where did you find it? They sound very cool. Try google the brand with review. Maybe you can get some reviews from people. Or if a sewing store has it. Ask them. If you have Joann's fabrics that has the sewing machine keyosk. Maybe one of those ladies would know. Maybe they have a sample you can check out. Just thinking.... Also babbling....not enough sleep lmao

I stumbled across them on a embroidery site I was downloading from lol. They have a sampler pack I'm going to buy and try out. I'll let y'all know the outcome. I have all these ideas running through my tiny little brain
