The Facts About Heat Wave

Heat Wave is a revolutionary yarn that is activated by sunlight, even on a cloudy day, to keep you up to 12°F warmer. Upgrade your outdoor gear and stay warm at sporting events, everyday outside activities or even walking your dog. Made in the USA, Heat Wave features a range of 13 solids.

You won’t notice the difference while working with this yarn but when using it out in the cold weather you will feel the difference. Designed to retain heat while being worn outside, the yarn does go back to room temperature when it is no longer exposed to the UV rays.

YOU WILL NOT BURN YOURSELF WITH THIS YARN. The yarn does not get hot enough for you to burn yourself. Check out this video of the yarn in action during a demo at Creativation this year.
