As this yarn name implies it is a NEON green, hence GLOW WORM, and not a light or pastel green by any means. It's really hard to get a neon color in a yarn but this comes pretty close. I also purchased this color with another Red Heart neon color in pink. I like Red Heart yarn because they always come up with interesting color combinations and is easy to work with. I purchased a cheaper brand of yarn at Michael's once and it wasn't worth it - it was thin and it frayed a lot.
