針線球 Yarn Ball

Founded in 2010, Yarn Ball is formed by illustrators and designers who turn personal memories, everyday objects, animals, and Taiwanese cultural references into small narrative images. Bowls of noodles, dumplings, Taiwanese skewers, cats, people, and local expressions appear across its stationery and daily goods. Paper remains the main medium, with illustrated cards, postcards, washi tape, notebooks, stickers, memo pads, stamps, calendars, and cleaning cloths joined by drawstring bags, tote bags, drink carriers, lunch bags, key charms, and enamel pins. Its guiding phrase, “Use good paper, tell good pictures, let pictures speak,” points to an emphasis on paper selection and printed presentation. Animal characters are often placed in familiar daily situations, giving ordinary Taiwanese scenes a humorous visual language.
