This "Dark Matter" thread batch was inspired while touring the Yerkes Observatory recently. Dark matter is described on the NASA science web page as a mysterious substance that "doesn’t reflect, absorb, or radiate light – at least not enough for us to detect yet."
My new hand dyed thread is only my fun attempt to give the effect of "outer space" colors. ☺ Now listed for sale in my Etsy shop.
Here's some pictures I took of the telescope and observatory building, which was built in 1897. Learn more at the Yerkes Observatory website.

I love the sheen of your thread, even though that contradicts the name!
Its got a lovely shine on it, it would look lovely mixed with other colours such as a red
Wow!! Yes, it looks like space colors!! :)
It's beautiful and I can definitely see 'space' in those colors. Wish I could still see well enough to be able to tat with those dark colors. Maybe someday, years from now...when the cataracts are 'fixed.'

StephanieW, since you mentioned "cataracts" I thought you might find it interesting to know that I had cataract surgery in November 2023; it was very quick and I can see so much better. ♥ I hope all goes well for you.
