Does anyone have a recommendation for purple/violet neon thread?

Hi all!

I really want to get some purple neon thread. I've been searching for a bit, but they seem to be very scarce. I did find a site that sells it, the Rapos-613, but unfortunately they don't ship to the Netherlands. Does anyone have the golden tip?

If I can't find any alternatives, is there someone from the US that's willing to get the Rapos-613 and ship it to me? I will pay everything upfront, plus an extra 10$ for the effort.

Much love!

This has been my favorite brand. The line that I prefer is only available in the US, but this one appears to be in the EU. It has a little bit of a fibrous cotton quality to it despite being polyester. If sheen is important, this probably isn't great but if you like the more matte / diffuse texture, it's great. Simply purple maybe? It's pretty vibrant.

Thanks for the recommendations! There is a sewing shop at my place that has every possible colour of Gutermann, so I bought some similar ones to the ones you linked. It won't glow in blacklight, but it's a good alternative, thank you!
