Brand Tone

Friendly, Welcoming, Passionate, Knowledgeable, Community-Oriented, Inspiring, Creative, Nostalgic, and Warm.

Brand Values

• •Quality: A clear commitment to offering high-quality, natural fiber yarns and well-designed tools.
• •Community: Fostering a supportive and welcoming environment for all fiber artists, both in their physical store and online.
• •Creativity and Making: Celebrating the joy of making things by hand and providing the resources and inspiration for it.
• •Ethical Sourcing/Conscious Consumerism: Supporting socially and environmentally responsible companies, indie dyers, and preserving traditional fiber heritage. This includes prioritizing fair wages and education opportunities.
• •Inclusivity: Their Code of Conduct explicitly states their commitment to being an equal opportunity organization and promoting a fiber community that welcomes all.
• •Customer Connection: The owner's personal story and the emphasis on friendly, helpful service highlight a value for genuine connection with customers.

Best Practices

• •Embrace Warmth and Friendliness: Use inviting and approachable language. Address the audience directly (e.g., "you," "your"). Share personal touches or stories when appropriate, like the founder's inspiration.
• •Focus on Inspiration and Creativity: Highlight the potential of the products – what beautiful things can be made? Encourage experimentation and the joy of the creative process. Use evocative and descriptive language for colors and textures.
• •Build Community: Use inclusive language ("we," "us," "our community"). Encourage interaction, sharing, and participation in events or social media. Make customers feel like they are part of something special.
• •Showcase Passion and Knowledge (without being intimidating): Share interesting facts about fibers, techniques, or the artisans behind the yarns. Offer helpful tips and advice. This builds trust and positions the brand as an expert resource.
• •Maintain Visual Consistency: Ensure that the tone of the copy is reflected in the visuals used on the website and social media – bright, inviting photos of yarn, projects, and happy people in the shop align with a friendly and inspiring tone.
