A light blue base with a gradient of blue speckles, plus a hint of sparkle. I was aiming for the shift in blues that you might see at twilight, just as the light is fading and after the stars have come out. My husband thought it looked like the gradient of blues you would see going deeper and deeper into the ocean. Thus, this yarn is name Twilight Zone to draw on both.
Twilight: astronomical twilight is the period of time when the sun is 12-18 degrees below the horizon. The sun’s light is scattered through the atmosphere so it still provides some light to the Earth’s surface. Technically this can be after sunset and also before sunrise, though people more often associate twilight with evening.
Twilight zone: The ocean twilight zone is a layer of water, 200 to 1,000 meters (about 650 to 3,300 feet) below the ocean surface, just beyond the reach of sunlight. It is sometimes known as the midwater or, more commonly, the mesopelagic layer. The twilight zone’s light is dim, but it has flashes of bioluminescence (light produced by living organisms).
