Three years ago, 22-year-old Lauren Taylor picked up a crochet hook simply for fun. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a deeper practice—one rooted in patience, self-expression, and the satisfaction of making something by hand.
Today, Lauren is the artist behind Yarn and Stix, where modern crochet fashion meets thoughtful design. Each piece is created with intention, comfort, and individuality to celebrate slow fashion and true handmade artistry.
Beyond crochet, Lauren is also a YouTuber, where she shares her creative process, behind-the-scenes moments, and honest conversations about making a life around art. Her channel serves as a space for connection, learning, and documenting growth—both as an artist and as a real person outside of the internet.
As a lifelong animal lover, Lauren grows interested in the delicacy of working with natural fiber yarns, and is currently saving up to continue her crafts by leaving behind synthetic fibers, and beginning a new stash with plant and animal fibers.
Whether through wearable designs, or shared online storytelling, Lauren's work is deeply rooted in passion and connection. Each piece reflects her honor towards the journey from fiber to a finished, functional product.
Yarn and Stix invites you to take a second to slow down, appreciate the moment, and wear handmade, crochet clothing that you'll feel good in!
