My name is Tayler Earl and I started Fiber for the People in 2017 after leaving my teaching career (to have our first child and become a full-time mom). I found myself with a lot of spare time and little to fill it with outside of my regular mom duties, which can leave a person desperate for some sort of creative outlet. Dyeing yarn was that for me. I wanted to do more and I wanted to share it. Today, what started out as a creative outlet, is now a passion project focused on providing bold and evocative hand-dyed and interesting yarns, while also connecting folks to the creative process behind each batch.

Just like in the beginning, all Fiber for the People® yarn is dyed by me in my home studio/garage, and hand-packaged with care by either myself or my husband (who is a huge part of FFTP, behind the scenes). So much thought goes into this project/business to ensure that when you purchase a skein of Fiber for the People® yarn, you’re purchasing a high-quality, consciously created piece of fiber art. From the efforts made to conserve water and prevent waste , to the hours spent hand-selecting thoughtfully-sourced yarn bases and coordinating colorway collections to include in the shop updates, to the emphasis placed on sharing the creative process, everything I do here is with fiber people in mind. All of the yarn I dye is sold exclusively here at fiberforthepeople.com in small batches during carefully planned and curated shop updates, in hopes that it will be used to enliven your next project.

In addition to running Fiber for the People®, Tayler Earl is a stay-at-home mom of two little boys, as well as the host of the WOOL||NEEDLES||HANDS YouTube Channel. She shares a home in Henderson, Nevada with her husband Branden (a father, teacher, t-ball coach, and loving, supportive husband extraordinaire), her little boys Aengus and Ronan, Oscar the grumpy and lazy house-cat, and Pepper, a snuggly Labrador/collie mix. She enjoys knitting, reading, and filming family movies and creative content.
