About

"World of Yarn" is a manga/comic written and illustrated by Jenna Bastian. She created her first characters based on her pet bunnies in the early 2000s and slowly formed her own world with everything she loved about fantasy and adventure. After improving in her art and story-telling skills, and with help from her fabulous editors and Kickstarter, Jenna published her first volume in 2023. She is currently working on the next volume for she has a long yarn to tell.

Volume 1 - Sally's Banishment: The day Sally's bakery was chosen to be one of the elite restaurants in Segenam City, she watches in despair when she accidentally kills the mayor's pet. The city mayor banishes Sally, only allowing her return if she brings Karpok, a master chef who can calm the beast's giant mother. Armed with wooden spoons, Sally sets off on her journey to Shiloh Oasis, the last known place of Karpok. She encounters magical beings, fights carnivorous butterflies, and joins former militia from the city. As Sally travels further, she unlocks hidden memories of her past, causing her to question her identity...
