The Story or Darn Good Yarn...
Their story begins with the sari. Over thousands of years, this traditional Indian garment has evolved from a simple throw to a beautiful, vibrantly dyed and intricately patterned dress, shawl and scarf. Today, the dyers and spinners and weavers of those beautiful silk saris have all been replaced by machines and factories, which pump out thousands of saris a day relying on sadly underpaid labor, and tons of waste.
There are, nonetheless, some who are working to preserve the ancient arts of spinning and knitting with sari silk yarn. Women’s cooperatives, set up in India and Nepal, are reclaiming the offcuts and discards from those factory floors, and are using them to spin gorgeous sari silk yarns. Hobbyists and knitters the world over are rediscovering this high-quality traditional fiber.
That’s where Darn Good Yarn comes in! They are dedicated to supporting women’s economic empowerment, fair trade practices, and principles of environmental sustainability. They now offer many kinds of eco-friendly recycled & reclaimed fibers and yarns allowing their fellow knitters, crocheters, weavers and fiber artist friends access to very high quality, rare and special items in hopes of doing their small part to encourage the joy of hand crafting and ethical consumerism.
So you can see why I Love Darn Good Yarns!
It is so we can all do our own small part, using the crafts we love to do, to help make our world a better place!
