Cartwheel Galaxy — UV Reactive | Cosmic Collection

Cartwheel Galaxy is a study in motion, impact, and aftermath — a colorway inspired by one of the most visually striking galaxies ever observed. Formed by a dramatic cosmic collision, the Cartwheel Galaxy radiates energy outward from a brilliant core, leaving rings of light, color, and motion in its wake.

Deep blues and indigos create a vast cosmic field, layered with flashes of emerald, moss, and luminous green. Bursts of magenta, coral, and warm gold streak through the skein like star-forming regions ignited by shockwaves. Painterly transitions create a sense of scale and movement that rewards texture and stitch definition.

Dyed with UV-reactive dyes, Cartwheel Galaxy transforms under blacklight. Select colors ignite and intensify, revealing hidden structure and contrast — like celestial energy surfacing when conditions are just right.

Bold without being chaotic and vibrant without losing balance, this colorway is designed for statement socks, shawls, garments, and projects that benefit from depth, contrast, and expansive color play.
