A whimsical yet pointed animated parable about conformity and belonging in a male-dominated workplace, told through the journey of a yarn ball learning to assert her identity.

Purl, an earnest ball of yarn, gets a job at a fast-paced, male-centered startup company. Things start to unravel as Purl tries to fit in with this tight-knit group, but she must ask herself how far is she willing to go to get the acceptance she yearns for and if, in the end, it is worth it.
