What Yarn You Are Based on Your Star Sign
As the weather gets colder, and the year is coming to a close, we prescribe warm nights indoors, a cup of tea, and a new crochet project. The Full Moon in Gemini on December 4 means the forces of the planets are cultivating clarity, inviting you to be decisive, and express whatever you’ve been holding in! It’s time to start that project that you’ve been putting off.
Perhaps you’re craving something bright and bold, or maybe more neutral and earthy? Not sure where to start? The stars know best…so here is how we recommend you shop our sale based on your star sign.
Gear up because we have thought deeply about this - considering the texture, colours, themes, traits, and overall vibes of each sign to pair all this complexity with the LOOSENDS yarn that perfectly captures the traits of your astrological sign.
SAGITTARIUS: 3. Prince (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius it is YOUR month and therefore you are our prince. Let’s keep it real, you never follow a pattern… You confidently freestyle your projects with a profound sense of confidence. What better could encapsulate the impulsive, fiery, blunt, idealistic nature of a Sag than this deep, vibrant blue?
CAPRICORN: 37. Chocolate (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn, with a steady sense of responsibility and disciplined nature, we know you are sitting in silence, carefully following patterns and stopping frequently to recount your stitches. The earth part of you values tradition, longevity, and quality. What could be more timeless, reliable, and classic than a deep chocolate brown?
AQUARIUS: Aquamarine (January 20 – February 18)
Ok, before you jump to conclusions thinking this is too obvious of a match, let us explain. Aquarius you are a floaty, sparkly, temperamental, and completely independent air sign. You have pinterest boards full of projects you intend to start, and countless unfinished projects lying around because your ambition gets the best of you. Dullness is your kryptonite, and thus there’s no other choice but to deem you metallic. A mix of blues and greens captures Aquarius' creative, innovative spirit, and desire to stand out.
PISCES: 119. Rainstorm (February 19 – March 20)
A pisces inner world is a rainstorm itself - a profoundly deep, charged, swirling storm of emotion. You are likely reading this alone in your room, listening to Lana Del Rey, crafting a holiday gift for the ex-situationship who broke your heart. To be a pisces is to be excessively romantic, and what is more poetic than a rainy day. Your compassionate, artistic, and introspective nature is all woven through the deep blue of this shade.
ARIES: 94. Carnations (March 21 – April 19)
Aries! Your courageous, energetic, and impulsive nature had to be captured by something equally bold and colourful. You are probably planning to start all your hand-made holiday gifts at the last minute, with the confidence that you can finish them overnight. You are assertive, confident, and playful in your disposition to the world - just like the statement of ‘carnations’.
TAURUS: 137. Garden (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, with your practical, devoted, and down-to-earth nature you had to be a green, and this green specifically reflects the comfort, balance, and stability of the earth. You are a homebody who wants to be enveloped in life’s comforts and pleasures, and spend your time nurturing your environment and those around you. As a crocheter, you are the type to find one design you are extremely good at and keep making it, gifting it to all your loved ones. Why not lock in on the DUSK bag this year!
GEMINI: 61. Knit Sunshine (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini, as the twin sign you are dynamic, communicative, and adaptable. You bring your crochet projects with you everywhere, whether that’s on the bus, at a cafe, or a dinner-party. Geminis are known to be charismatic and silly people who could hold a conversation with a brick wall if they had to. The dual focus of counting your rows and holding a conversation is effortless for a gemini. This vibrant, quick-witted and bright spirit is echoed through our shade ‘sunshine’.
CANCER: 141. Forest (June 21 – July 22)
Cancer: sensitive, imaginative, and moody - we had to select something that captured your need to nest and also swim in emotion. You are nurturing, loyal, and intuitive just like the serene, grounding forces of the forest - an escape that equally echoes your creative whimsy. You’re probably currently working on crocheting a baby bonnet for your future baby - one that is a distant concept, and nowhere in your near future.
Leo: Gold (July 23 – August 22)
Leo, you are brave, confident, and love to be the centre of attention. Your passionate nature pours out through your warmth, generosity, and humour - and sometimes through stubbornness too. You love life’s luxuries, and live for making a statement. You confidently rock your own designs, setting trends, but also quick to tell everyone that you made them yourself. Only gold could be right for a leo.
VIRGO: 299. Shine On (August 23 – September 22)
To be a Virgo is to be analytical, thoughtful, and logical. You love to problem-solve, and value things that are functional, and reliable. Your yarn is organized neatly, and your crochet projects are meticulously refined - you would never be caught not weaving in your ends. Although you live to be practical, that sometimes stems from a desire to organize the millions of thoughts and ideas circulating your mind. Shine On captures your calm, seriousness with a touch of sparkly, unique shine.
LIBRA: 41. Baby Pink (September 23 – October 22)
Libra, you are known for your diplomatic, fair-minded, gentleness. Libras are peacemakers who strive to bring balance and equilibrium to their surroundings. You love harmony, and serenity, and are quick to resolve a problem - which makes you the perfect person for your friends to go to when they need help with their crochet projects. You can be found on facetime instructing your friends on how to understand a pattern or resolve a missed stitch. Your sweet disposition can be equated to a soft, calm Baby Pink.
SCORPIO: 88. Logan Berry (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpio - mysterious, passionate, cunning, and determined. You have never followed a pattern in your life. You carve your own path, trend setting by repurposing scraps into new designs. The intensity of your bravery, passion, and spicy emotional landscape can only be compared to a deep red. You are edgy, vibrant, and know exactly who you are and what you want.
