The Spun Oracle : Yarn + Tarot Inspiration
Every Tuesday morning our staff gets together for a team meeting. To start off these meetings we like to do a tarot readings, there’s just something about the symbolism, offering a fresh perspective on both our work and personal lives. With so many stunning decks in our store, we couldn’t help but notice how the colors on each card evoke a certain mood and energy. Feeling inspired we started selecting yarns that reflect those same shades and feelings. Think crafting with colors that channel The High Priestess’s divine allure or the ethereal glow of The Moon. These yarns don’t just capture the essence of the cards—they invite you to tap into your own creative intuition. Let the cards guide your next project, and the yarn bring your visions to life.
🏆 Knight of Cups 🏆
Most recognizable by the white horse representing light and spirituality, the Knight of Cups is all about tapping into your inner intuition. The horse of the white knight emphasizes bringing something new into your life and following your heart. Many Moons is the perfect color to remind you that love and peace is coming your way.

🗡️ Queen of Swords 🗡️
Beautiful and formidable, the Queen of Swords has her feet in the clouds so that no one can trick her. One hand holding her sword to the sky and the other reaching out, she is a wise woman encouraging us to take in knowledge and to follow truth. We feel that Come and Get Your Love perfectly represents this queen - light to represent the air sign while this tried and true blue won’t steer you wrong.

🌱 Seven of Pentacles 🌱
This card is all about taking a moment to admire your greenery – the seeds you have sown sprouting blooms and those long-term goals that have been growing but have yet to come to fruition. Like the names of the color – Evergreen – we hope that your future will be lush and that you can take a moment to admire what is to come.

Smoke Stack Dye House is one of those colors that grabs your attention, demanding to be seen and used in your next project. The beautiful color variegation is brimming with knitting potential!

🔮 The High Priestess 🔮
One of those most feminine cards in the deck, the High Priestess is often depicted as a divine standing between two pillars - living between two worlds. We feel that the Priestess is a bit of a rebel; a baddie making her own path and following her intuition. Fugitive is the color for her, a bold pinkish purple, bold and bright. Fugitive draws your eye, becoming the center of any project you might use it in.

🤡 The Fool 🤡
Innocent and naive? Or reckless and wild? The fool excitedly is traveling down their path unaware of the cliffs and danger ahead. While this can seem like a sad card, it encourages us to look ahead at the path before us before getting ourselves in a bind. In A Jam is bright and bold, asking us to dive head first into a new goal - just make sure to be looking ahead in your pattern.
Matching Nail Lacquer: Tripping the Light Fantastic
🌞 The Sun 🌞
Even after the darkest of nights, the sun rises to join us bringing along its sunshine and joy. Sunny’s is a bright yellow that makes us smile and yearn for the good days ahead. The Sun card can also imply that you are radiating positive energy and a sweater made out of Sunny’s would mean you’d be putting that light on display for all.
Matching Nail Lacquer: Yellow Bellied Sap-Sucker
🌙 The Moon 🌙
In the night, our paths can be obscured - multiple possible paths showing themselves, perhaps even asking us to choose between the two wolves inside of us. The moon acts as our guide, giving light in the darkness and helping us select a path. I’ve Got Dreams to Remember is a midnight blue representing the deep night but the true question hidden within this yarn is what will you make?

Matching Nail Lacquer: Bad Seed
💞 The Lovers 💞
A symbol of an epic union, this card references love, romance, and balance. For us, there are no better colors to represent love than Big Sky Sunset- the bright and bold pink representing a bright and fiery love. Big Sky Sunset is also a love letter to our home state of Montana, the bright pink of our long summer sunsets over the prairie, how could you not fall in love?
