Yarn

Interpretation

Yarn connects fiber into fabric and words into tales. In dreams it warns you to watch for falsehoods—either your own embellishments or someone else’s. Tangled skeins mirror confusing narratives. Smooth, well-wound yarn reflects clarity and integrity. Notice who hands you the thread and what they expect you to weave.

Use the dream as a prompt to fact-check, slow down, and choose honesty even when storytelling feels easier.

Common Meanings

• Untangling knotted yarn: Sorting truth from rumor; take your time before responding
• Spinning or “spinning a yarn”: Exaggerating to cope; practice transparent communication
• Cutting frayed strands: Setting boundaries with deceptive influences; protect your peace

Cultural Context

Textile arts often carry communal knowledge and generational stories. Colonization exploited many weavers while appropriating their designs. Reflect on how your culture treats storytelling, gossip, and the labor behind fabric. Honoring artisans includes honoring truth.
