About Us
Twisted Ambitions Yarn is the creative heartbeat of Ross Taylor, with the full-time encouragement, support, and steady-hand logic of Steve Taylor beside him through every step of the journey. What started as a passion for color and curiosity in a garage dye studio in Oklahoma has evolved into a vibrant, joyful, unapologetically expressive yarn business with community at its core.
We believe color is emotional — it tells stories, sparks inspiration, and draws people together. Every skein we produce is hand-dyed in small batches with care, intention, and a genuine love for the craft. Ross brings the artistic vision, the wild palette imagination, and the creative spark — while Steve brings grounded wisdom, a calming presence, humor, and an unwavering belief in the dream.
Our Values
Ethical sourcing only
All our yarns come from mulesing-free farms in South America, supporting humane and responsible wool production.
Sustainable packaging
We ship using recyclable cellophane sleeves and recyclable polymailers because we believe creativity shouldn’t cost the earth.
Small-batch, human-made
Every colorway is dyed by hand, not machines, with real artistry and attention.
Community connection
We show up for our people — in person at trunk shows, online through newsletters and social, and through collaborations with local yarn shops around the world.
Partnership with purpose
We choose suppliers and collaborators who share our values. We cherish the fiber community’s diversity, camaraderie, warmth, and individuality.
A welcoming space for all
As a proud couple in the LGBTQ community, we believe deeply in creating a space where everyone feels welcome, seen, and celebrated. Your voice matters here — no matter your sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, craft background, or financial situation. Bring your whole self to this space. There is always a seat for you.
Color is personality
Our yarns are bold, fun, expressive, and full of attitude — just like the makers who use them.
Giving back matters
From charity colorways to seasonal fundraisers, we believe in using creativity for good.
Respect for creativity & makers
We support designers by providing yarn for samples, highlight fellow creatives, and encourage all forms of fiber artistry.
Growing with heart
As we scale up, move into bigger studio space, and expand wholesale, we stay true to who we are: hands-on, connected, and completely obsessed with making truly exceptional yarn.
Thank You
Twisted Ambitions Yarn isn’t just a company — it’s a community built fiber by fiber, person by person, stitch by stitch. We are deeply grateful for every knitter, crocheter, weaver, spinner, designer, and yarn-obsessed soul who has supported us, laughed with us, and cheered us on.
We dye with joy.
We create with passion.
And we show up with love.
Thank you for being part of this wicked sweet world of color.
