For one week, the Telling Tales Fall collection takes a detour into Alan Wake II, a surreal, spooky game that feels like if Stephen King wrote a story David Lynch decided to direct. Think Twin Peaks energy: a small town with cult masks, forest rituals, shadows that move when you’re not looking, and characters trying to hold on to reality.

Six hand-dyed colorways capture the eerie beauty of that world. Whether or not you’ve played, the colors carry the mood: strange, haunted, and perfect for the season.

Welcome!

My name is Tayler and I am the dyer behind Fiber for the People®—a one-woman, small-batch yarn dye studio. I create hand-dyed yarn with a deep focus on artistry, intention, and connection to place. Every skein in this shop is dyed by me, by hand, in truly small batches, from my home studio in Southern Nevada.

From the source…

At the heart of the FFTP shop is the BORN SHORN DYED yarn base—a sport/light DK weight, 2-ply yarn (350 yards/100 grams) made from 100% Nevada-born and shorn Merino Rambouillet.

This yarn comes from the Dufurrena Sheep Company, a family-run ranch in the mountains and foothills of Northern Nevada. The Dufurrena family carries on the rich Basque tradition of sheep ranching, producing exceptional Merino Rambouillet fleece. The yarn is milled by Mountain Meadow Wool in Buffalo, Wyoming, the largest, full-service woolen mill in the west. Mountain Meadow is 100% natural, using bio-degradable soaps and non-petroleum spinning oil and they also recycle 50% of the water they use through the scouring process. BORN SHORN DYED yarn is offered in partnership with Lovely Valley Wool, owned by Magen Dufurrena.

I am proud to collaborate with Magen and Lovely Valley Wool to bring you regionally sourced, small-batch, hand-dyed yarn that reflects the landscape and heritage of Northern Nevada.

How the Shop Works

FFTP yarn is dyed by hand in truly small batches and added to the shop as it becomes available. There are no traditional shop updates—colorways rotate in regularly and may not return. If something catches your eye, it’s best to scoop it up.

A newsletter goes out every Friday, sharing what’s currently in the shop and what’s coming soon. You’ll also hear occasional shop news on the Wool Needles Hands podcast, and for behind-the-scenes glimpses, the Wool Needles Hands Patreon is the place to be.
