#1 Travis and Colby (S1 E1)

Yarn Logo Rough Draft
Early ideas for The Yarn logo

Travis: The problem: there are a whole bunch of episodes of The Yarn that are nowhere to be found on The Yarn blog. You see the issue here, right?

Today we start to fix that.

Let’s begin at the beginning, with the very first episode. Over time we’ll give all the past episodes a proper home here.

Colby was brave enough to take on the assignment of producing this first show. We wanted The Yarn to be a show that documented children’s literature, but also documented our experience making it. Colby does this right off the bat with the opening clip of me picking him up in the middle of the night to catch a flight to New York. I love the train in the background.
