Sari Silk Ribbon Necklaces and a bit by Tracy from Make Bracelets! – Darn Good Yarn
June 19, 2013
Do you have an itch to make some jewelry? When the scarves and mittens come off, our necks and wrists can suddenly feel bare! Tracy over at Make Bracelets! featured Darn Good Yarn’s 5 yard Sari Silk Ribbon cards recently, so we just had to share this with you all!
Aren’t they absolutely stunning?! I personally LOVE wrap bracelets, so these are a big hit with me. And with so much variety with the ribbon colors and bead combinations, the possibilities are endless. 
Thanks for sharing this with us, Tracy! To see the specific post where she talks about Darn Good Yarn, you can find it here.

South Frontenac Fibers Interviews Darn Good Yarn!
May 20, 2013
Teira from South Frontenac Fibers asked me for an interview. She’s got the post up on her blog, so go take a look! Teira is a knitter and spinner, and has dogs and chickens. She posts on her blog frequently, and there’s a lot of great stuff to read there too. One of her goals this year is to create some patterns. Woot! I know I’m looking forward to a sock pattern, even though I’ve only made one pair (those were made special for the Darn Good Husband)!
I had so much fun answering her questions, and even made two video responses. Haha, I’m glad you got a good laugh, Teira. 
Here is the video:
Thank you so much for doing this feature on your blog, Teira.

Meet and Greet!: Che Sweetland from Meadowfly Farms – Darn Good Yarn
May 3, 2013
Hello! I gotta tell you about Che. She’s a sweet young woman who is love with DGY just as much as the rest of us. But here’s the cool part. Not only does she live in Maine, she’s also going to be providing us with some AWESOME soaps! Feeling a goat milk soap lather on your body is just heavenly.
And the goats themselves are super cute! The does are milked daily, so this is really a hands-on small business. Che, we’re happy to have your soaps available on the DGY website!
She’s got a lot of great soap fragrances available, and most of her soaps are all-natural. Head over to her blog for the low down on Che!
