⚖️ Final Say
Read the summaries of what reviewers think about Darn Good Yarn below.
“My first experience with the Darn Good Yarn “Skirt of the Month Club” was a great one! I’m so happy with the skirt they sent and the colors/patterns couldn’t be more perfect. I love that it was made using upcycled saris and that it gave fair employment to the artisans who crafted it. Everyone wins!”
“Darn Good Yarn would make a great gift for the knitter or crochet lover in your life. My 11-year old daughter loves finger knitting, so this would be a great subscription for kids too!”
“If you’re searching for a really special gift for yourself or to spoil a best friend, sister, mother, daughter, you name it, I definitely encourage you to check out DGY’s beautiful array of Sari Wrap Skirts! They are truly works of art and support an amazing cause.”
“Have you ever worked with 100% silk yarn before? If not, do yourself a favor and give it a try! It is slippery soft while achieving the lovely textured look you see above. And the most fabulous part? It does NOT tangle like other textured or fuzzy yarns.”
“I think even though I did not have enough yarn to complete the pattern as written, I still had a nice finished piece. I paid for the box myself, and this is my honest opinion. The value of what is in the box is more than the subscription price, the gift was really nice, and the project was fun to make. I would recommend Darn Good Yarn’s Yarn of the Month Club to any knitter or crocheter based on the contents and projects in the first two boxes.”
“The Darn Good Yarn skirts are absolutely beautiful! The skirts are very well put together. Also, the Darn Good Yarn sari skirt is reversible, which is great for those of you trying to minimize your wardrobe!”

You are not picky about the patterns you wear. You like a surprise. You have plain and neutral colored tops that can coordinate with any pattern or color Or if you love adventure.”
“Should you subscribe to Darn Good Yarn of the Month club?You should if you love: The idea of receiving fabulous yarn every month. The idea of getting monthly mail that isn’t a bill! The insanely great price for great yarn plus bonuses. Being able to support a company with such an ethical mission.”
