Fiber Hound was founded in early 2013 by Caitlyn Faust as she wanted to incorporate both of her passions together into one business: dyeing yarn and dogs. Using the color skills she had gained from her Studio Art degree from Saint Mary's College, she designed colorways that inspired dog-related names and crafted a brand that incorporates good design, character, and love. All of this aided, of course, by the brand's face and inspiration, Dwight. Fiber Hound closed in 2015.
