Tristan,
Unhide your email by going to the control centre and editing it. I found some glow in the dark thread you might be interested in. It's Madeira which is very close to "a" thread and comes in a variety of colours.

It would be OK to post the source. :-) I have another question. How do all of these sizes relate to a standard. I have only used Size A. So how does 40 relate to Size A? Bigger, smaller, how much smaller ect. Just curious.

Hi Bryce,
Polyneon 40 is slightly smaller than"a" thread. Polyneon 60 is smaller again and doesn't have as big a colour range.The glow in the dark thread is 40 size and available in white, pink, blue, yellow, green, peach and lavender. It only comes in 1640 yd spools and is available from Madeira in the US. You need to have a business to buy from them and the prices are wholesale but I don't think there is a minimum purchase amount. The stuff is no doubt available through embroidery suppliers but I've got no ideaa of the cost from them. The paperwork that I've got is a couple of years old and the price for the glow in the dark was $24.40 then. They've also got metallic thread in various sizes, but I've only used the polyneon 40. Billy V has had good words to say about their metallics.
