The Yarn Room
We were approached by a yarncraft distributor in South Africa looking for help with a tricky situation. She had built up her store, The Yarn Room, on the foundation of another hand-dyed yarn brand she was creating called Loopy #6. There was an immediate need for the store's branding to "leapfrog" over the hand-dyed yarn's branding in order to make a clear distinction between the unique values of either brand.

The Yarn Room provides pioneering yarncraft goods to adventurous customers with a welcoming passion, helping them find inspiration on their crafting journey.

The Room & The World.
Through her travels, The Yarn Room's owner curates world-class yarn goods for her customers backs home. We wanted the brand illustrate this, and decided to build a brand identity that merges the the aesthetic of stamp, referencing postcards and passports, with the aesthetic of a blueprint, referencing the room and the owner's past as an architect.
This concept conveniently resulted in a mark that can be easily "redecorated," much like a room, to fit a wide array of applications.

Finally, a tagline and hand-written font was selected to tie together the concept. Following the format of a gift tag while echoing the sentiment of a journey traveled, we settled on...
