The reversible, sari skirts are so comfy!!! With each purchase, I am helping Indian women with their employment. All around great feelings!❤️

I joined Darn Good Yarn thinking I would just give it a try knowing that I could cancel anytime or just order when I want you see groups and commitments have never been my thing. I live in the PNW so it’s often chilly. My wardrobe had three colors, black, gray and burgundy. I’ve always liked other colors but struggled to find clothing that fit my personality. In just six months, I have completely transformed my wardrobe to a beautiful kaleidoscope. I never thought this would happen at age 59. I can wear the knee length mini with confidence, even all year long with leggings in the winter. The gorgeous sari wrap skirts are incredible versatile and can be worn as shirts, dresses or skirts and can be worn on either side. I get so much wear out of one skirt when I travel! I wore a skirt for a black-tie holiday event and even do my gardening in my skirts. I have given skirts as gifts and always have women stop me to ask where it came from? I will say something I did learn as a newcomer was that there are so many other “sari skirt” groups out there that you might get a cheap deal from one of these groups like I did. Well, boy was that a mistake! I got a cheap, thin, polyester skirt the tore in two places the first time I washed it. These other groups also do NOT work to support their artisans with fair-trade ethics and many of them are copycats of DGY so be careful! DGY IS a women owned group with a 17-year history of working with talented artisans in India. With DGY these artisans now have sustainable safe, fair, employment to support themselves and their families. You can see their story for yourself at Darngoodyarn.com If that isn’t enough, they have an incredible Facebook group. I have watched the women on this group create lasting friendships all over the world but more importantly, I see other women being transformed while reflecting a positive self-image. I honestly can’t recommend Darn Good Yarn enough and my gratitude extends beyond having a closet full of their beautiful, silk clothing.

As a long time expert crochet designer and cosplayer, I'm always on the lookout for great deals on yarn, crochet and craft supplies, and sometimes clothes. I'm a member of their Yarn of the Month program, which is so affordable, I love their theme every year, like Wanderlust for 2024, and this year is Goddesses. I absolutely love DGY's yarn and their beautiful silk skirts that are so versatile and convertible- I've worn one to my birthday plans twice already! Also, about 40% of my newest cosplay based on Mirabel from Disney's Encanto is all from Darn Good Yarn materials, they're sustainable and fair trade, they support very good causes from their small business. Please support them, they're amazing!!!

I first discovered DGY years ago when looking for chiffon to use in the dried floral wreaths I make, that's when I found sari silk ribbon as well. Once I started purchasing from them, I realized all the other beautiful products they offered! My skirt journey started a couple years ago when I happened upon the FB page. After being a quiet observer for some time I started to engage a little more and found this really wonderful, supportive community of 'skirt sibs' that has become chosen family of sorts. Sam, who runs the group has done a wonderful job of not only giving fantastic access to the skirts with the fun sales held online, but has always been super responsive when questions arise.She is super sweet and runs this very large group with love and devotion to the company and to us! Nell, from the store has been a truly delightful addition to this small all women team- she is truly passionate about her job and has gone above and beyond for myself personally when there was a small snafu in an order, which not only she promptly addressed- but when I received my order from her, she had written a sweet note and enclosed a gift from her which was completely unnecessary but unbeknownst to her received like a long distance hug very much needed. Nicole, the owner of DGY was recently responding to my email at almost 11pm one night helping me to figure out an answer to my inquiry about an order- I have never had such prompt or personalized attention from any company! As for the items, I have accumulated and been using skirts, bags, yarn, craft items, jewelry, fabric, etc for several years now and have always been happy with my purchases, and the customer service! In fact, if I lived closer I would want to work for this wonderful company! The mission and commitment to sustainability, use of recycled products, and support of women and therefore families in India has made me a loyal customer for life.

Darn Good Yarn has the most beautiful sari wrap skirts which are 2 layers and can be worn many different ways as skirts, tops, and dresses! Some other favorites I have are their belle sleeve wrap tops, and dusters, which are all one of a kind treasures made from gorgeous recycled sari materials saved from landfills!! The products, the company mission, the customer service are all incredible and I’m so glad to be a part of their community!!

These sari wraps, are magical skirts because I can wear it in many ways, so versatile, beautiful comfy, I get lots of compliments from other people, this helps me to love it, and it starts to grow on me after so many compliments. I called these unique skirts or one of a kind skirts, saris of the soul, it is so unique like our spirit, you are like no one else, these are vintage skirts, signature skirts, be yourself, be you, only you. The style you can make with a sari wrap skirt will never disappoint you.

I discovered Darn Good Yarn on my journey to choose fewer, higher quality pieces from environmentally & socially conscious brands. DGY works with women-run worker co-ops to provide employment & opportunities for marginalized communities. They utilize reclaimed & recycled materials to produce much of their clothing and yarn. At this point, I've made several purchases of both clothing & craft materials. The recycled sari wrap skirts are my favorite -beautiful, unique pieces in vibrant colors & prints. There's definitely a leap of faith element in ordering a unique piece, since you're never sure what you'll get, but DGY suggests that customers note specific color & pattern requests in their order, and they do a great job fulfilling these requests! I've been even more enamored with DGY after discovering the Crafting Enthusiasts group & the Wrap Skirt fan group on Facebook. Not only are these places for fans to share & appreciate each others' favorite skirts & handmade crafts, they also host special sales of clothing, jewelry, and craft supplies. The monthly subscription sari skirt box or yarn box are also great ways to enjoy a special unique piece each month.

Great products, fast shipping and one of a kind items
