Brand Tone

Whimsical, Community-Oriented, and Adventurous

Brand Values

• •Community
• •Creativity & Education
• •Quality & Artistry
• •Inclusivity

Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Rogue" Spirit: Always incorporate a sense of adventure, uniqueness, or gentle rebellion in your copy. Use active, inspiring verbs that encourage breaking from the norm and trying something new.
• •Lead with Community: Center the customer as part of a larger creative family. Use inclusive language like "we," "together," "your fellow creators," and "our community" to reinforce the brand's core value of fellowship.
• •Use Whimsical and Evocative Language: Employ descriptive and imaginative words. Instead of just "yarn," use phrases like "skeins of possibility" or "vibrant, hand-painted colors." This enhances the magical and inspiring tone.
• •Balance Inspiration with Education: Pair aspirational messages with concrete information. When promoting a workshop, sell the feeling of accomplishment and creativity, but also clearly state the skills that will be taught and the level it's aimed at (e.g., "Perfect for beginners").
• •Maintain a Consistent Voice Across Platforms: Whether writing a short Instagram caption, a detailed Facebook event, or website copy, the core tone—whimsical, adventurous, and community-focused—should remain the same. This builds a strong, recognizable brand identity.
