Darn Good Yarn Makers Stash - Use code MOLLYMS15 for 15% off your order!
Every once in a while, a yarn shows up that immediately makes you want to cast something on.
It’s not always that we need another project (most of us probably don’t), but because the texture, color, and feel of it sparks ideas the second you touch it!
That was my first reaction to the Darn Good Yarn Makers Stash.
I received five skeins recently, and the color I keep coming back to is Enchanted Lagoon - which is still available on the website right now if you’ve been curious about trying it. The colors have so much depth in person, and because every skein is hand dyed, they all vary slightly from one another.
It doesn’t feel flat or overly uniform - It really feels artistic - Like yarn with actual personality!
This makers stash yarn comes in various weights.
And because it’s made from reclaimed sari silk materials, the texture has this really unique feel to it that’s different from a lot of traditional yarns. It already has me thinking about shawls, lightweight garments, and fun textured accessories.
I also received one of their recycled silk worsted weight yarns in the color Winterberry, which is equally as unique in person.
I have a few project ideas in mind already, but I want to spend a little time swatching and checking gauge before I start officially recommending patterns. Some yarns need a little experimenting before you know exactly what they want to become!
But what really made me want to share this company was not just the yarn itself.
The more I learned about Darn Good Yarn, the more I realized this is one of those rare companies where the mission actually feels connected to the product in a meaningful way.
Their yarns are handmade by artisans in India and Nepal using reclaimed materials, and the company works with over 600 artisans to help provide safe working conditions and livable wages - opportunities that unfortunately aren’t always accessible in many textile industries.
A lot of us spend hours knitting with these materials. It’s nice when the yarn itself carries a story beyond just the finished object.
They also partner with Trees for the Future and plant trees through their subscription program - one tree planted for every subscriber every month.
So if you’ve been wanting to try:
- recycled silk yarn
- hand dyed yarn with texture and variation
- more sustainable fiber options
- or simply something that feels a little different from the usual…
this might be worth exploring.
There are so many beautiful color options available, but Enchanted Lagoon immediately became my favorite!
