Default Glo-Brite Floss or Yarn, which is it?

Help please,
I am looking to order a glo-brite product for dubbing & tails. I have found glo-brite floss & multi yarn, are they the same thing?
The pictures look the same but I would think yarn is thicker than floss. Am I confused or what?
Cheers

The floss is a fine-ish material which is opaque & has a very bright appearance. Whilst the yarn is an open textured product very similar to antron/poly-yarn & is dyed on a clear base so it's slightly translucent & not as bright.
