I've never heard of it, but I think if you test samples of different
fibers under black lights, you will find out what fibers glow and then
just look for yarn of those fibers. I think acrylics are more likely to
glow than any natural fibers, but I don't know which ones.

I looked all over the label, but didn't see any manufacturer listed.
Maybe you could e mail hearts strings and ask them, or ask if they may
know of a Canadian distributer.
