Darn Good Yarn is an online yarn store that is pretty much a one-stop-shop for your yarn needs. They sell different varieties of yarn including Sari Ribbon, Wool, Banana, Chiffon, Cotton, Linen and more. They also have a wonderful selection of recycled yarn, vegan, dyeable and etc.
One thing I love about Darn Good Yarn is that they don’t just sell yarn, they also sell patterns, kits, spinning supplies, sewing supplies, and even clothing! In fact, they have a wonderful variety of Artisan, Sustainable and Fair Trade Clothing. Earlier this year I also did an unboxing of their Yarn of the Month subscription box.
I had the opportunity recently to review one of their Wrap Skirts as well as one of the Yarn Bowls.
These Sari Wrap Skirts are STUNNING! Each skirt is made by their co-ops in India out of recycled saris and turned into beautiful skirts. These skirts come in a variety of sizes: Women’s(0-12), Plus(8-20), Goddess(14-36) and Kids(4-14) as well as a variety of designs and even two lengths: ankle and mini.
You can purchase the Sari Wrap skirt for $69 each or you can purchase 5 of them for $138.00($345.00 value).
The Handmade Wooden Yarn Bowl is made in India using 100% Sheesham Wood and by purchasing just ONE bowl you are helping provide safe and sustainable employment for over 50 people in India.
The bowl comfortably fits a 3.5 oz/100 gram ball of bulky yarn and is absolutely stunning! This stunning yard bowl is currently on sale for $41.40 so I suggest running over and snagging it for the yarn lover in your life.
Overall Thoughts:
I am very happy with the quality of the items I received from Darn Good Yarn. Honestly, at first I could never imagine spending $69 on ONE skirt but after wearing the skirt I am already saving up to buy the set of 5. The skirts are very high quality and made in a way that will last for many years if taken care of properly. The yarn bowl is also super stunning and it keeps my yarn neat and not tangled.
