Yarn Studios GmbH

What Yarn Studios GmbH does

Yarn Studios GmbH is a privately held German limited liability company (GmbH) registered in Hilden, North Rhine-Westphalia (Amtsgericht Düsseldorf, HRB 76877), operating a direct-to-consumer online shop at yarnstudios.com. Founded in 2016, the company is led by Managing Director David Ebisch and has a headcount of approximately 5 employees. Its commercial footprint is restricted to Germany, with no claimed global reach and no institutional ownership, subsidiaries, or parent company identified in the available records.

The company's product offering is not explicitly detailed in the available sources, but the integration of SCHUFA IdentitätsCheck for age verification indicates that the catalog includes age-restricted goods subject to youth-protection regulation under German law. The business is structured as a self-serve, direct e-commerce operation targeting consumers and small/medium buyers regionally. There is no proprietary technology stack disclosed beyond standard SMB web infrastructure.

Yarn Studios generates revenue through direct online sales of physical goods shipped via DHL Paket and DHL Express Germany, with payments processed primarily through Klarna (offering installment and deferred payment options). Marketing is conducted via a standard toolkit: Google Analytics and Google Ads remarketing for paid acquisition and web analytics, an email newsletter, and organic social media presence on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest. Trust and review management is handled through Trusted Shops. No disclosed revenue, funding, pricing structure, or customer concentration data is available, and the company shows no AI/ML capability, patents, trademarks, or product launch history in the supplied information.
