Laughing Cat Fibers
Lake Erie Algae Bloom | Nature Collection | UV Reactive
Lake Erie Algae Bloom | Nature Collection | UV Reactive
Inspired by summers spent along the shores of Lake Erie, Lake Erie Algae Bloom is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to warm water, neon warnings, and the unmistakable glow of an algae bloom at its peak.
Reformulated in 2022, this colorway has become one of Laughing Cat Fibers’ most popular — and for good reason. Acidic greens, chartreuse, and toxic yellow tones collide with shadowed undertones, creating a palette that feels electric, hazardous, and strangely beautiful.
In normal light, the colorway reads bold and high-energy. Under blacklight, hidden UV-reactive elements ignite, amplifying the “toxic bloom” effect and pushing the colorway fully into its intended absurd glory.
Be sure to check out the video show-and-tell clips in the image gallery to see both natural light and UV-reactive effects.

Please Note
All yarn is hand-dyed to order; color placement, saturation, and tonal variation will vary between skeins.
Each skein is dyed individually using layered techniques, making every skein unique.
For larger projects, alternating skeins is recommended for the most even color flow.
Colors may vary slightly depending on screen settings and lighting conditions.
Turnaround Time:
Please allow 4–6 weeks for dye-to-order yarns, especially during peak seasons. Each skein is carefully dyed, set, and finished by hand to ensure balance, depth, and consistency.
