Color Horoscope Kits
Bonnie Tarses is the creative genius behind our Color Horoscope Kits, and we couldn’t be more excited to share them with you! These kits are a brilliant way to combine weaving with the magic of astrology, giving you a one-of-a-kind fabric that is as meaningful as it is beautiful.
When you weave with a Color Horoscope Kit, you’re not just making cloth—you’re weaving a story. Each warp is wound in a sequence designed by Bonnie, based on your birthday or any special day. The result is a fabric that is soft, luscious, and will be a cherished heirloom.
What is a Color Horoscope Kit?
A Color Horoscope is a personal horoscope translated into color through a unique method of spectrum manipulation conceived and developed by Bonnie Tarses. Each of the twelve colors in the palette represents an astrological sign, house, or planet. Together, these carefully chosen shades map out the sky at a particular moment.
At Cotton Clouds, we’ve made it easy for you by putting together a kit with the 12 colors you will need, giving you both economy and convenience. With twelve colors combining in endless ways, there are literally thousands of color possibilities! That means every horoscope warp is truly personal and unlike any other.
How Do You Know Your Warp Color Sequence?
Once you receive your Color Horoscope Kit with the twelve yarn colors, you can contact Bonnie Tarses to order her Color Horoscope Instruction Packet. For a small fee, she will chart the sequence based on the date and place of birth. You’ll then warp your fabric using the twelve colors we provide!
Don’t Want to Weave a Horoscope?
No problem! You can still create something special. Try warping your shawl in a random sequence with the twelve colors included in the kit. The results are just as vibrant, playful, and meaningful.
