Tier 03 — Branded Your own yarn line

Your yarn.
Your brand.

Branded is our highest tier: you design and name a co-branded yarn line, and we handle everything from dyehouse to doorstep. You earn 50% of gross profit on every skein sold.

How branded works

From idea to yarn brand.

You bring the creative vision. We bring the supply chain. Four steps, zero inventory risk on your end.

  1. 01

    Choose your fibers.

    Pick from our mill catalog — merino, alpaca, cotton, blends, and more. We source ethically and transparently.

  2. 02

    Design your colorways.

    Name them. Brand them. Create a palette that's unmistakably yours. We send lab-dip samples until you're happy.

  3. 03

    We manufacture.

    Yarnhause handles the dyehouse, banding, quality control, and inventory. Your brand, our infrastructure.

  4. 04

    You sell.

    Your line lives on Ply and Yarnhause. Every sale earns you 50% GP. We handle fulfillment and customer service.

Why branded

A real brand. Zero overhead.

Ownership

Your brand, your IP

You own the brand name, colorway names, and all design IP. If you leave, your brand leaves with you.

Economics

50% gross profit share

The highest revenue share in the yarn industry. Plus you still earn 96.5% on every pattern you sell through Ply.

Operations

Zero logistics burden

No warehouse, no packing, no shipping headaches. We handle dyehouse, QC, inventory, fulfillment, and returns.

Marketing

Co-marketing support

Featured placement across Ply and Yarnhause. Joint social campaigns. Your launch, amplified by our channels.

Flexibility

No lock-in

6-month off-ramp to wind down inventory if you leave. No exclusivity clauses. Your creative freedom is non-negotiable.

Quality

Mill-grade manufacturing

Access to the same mills and dyehouses that supply established yarn brands. Professional banding and labeling with your name on it.

The math

What Branded actually pays.

Branded yarn revenue (your line)
18,000/mo
Gross margin (~60%)
10,800
Your 50% GP share
+ 5,400
Total monthly income

4.8x vs Ravelry-only
Based on a designer selling 500 patterns/mo with a branded yarn line generating 18k/mo revenue.

These are illustrative numbers. Actual income depends on pattern sales volume and yarn line performance. All figures in euros.
