Tuesday Update:I lost my marbles
March 22, 2011
It’s true. It’s Tuesday and my second, third and fourth winds have abandoned me and all we’re left with is one crazy owner of Darn Good Yarn.
I hope you get a laugh, I know I did…. I have been told I’m my own best friend…that’s a good thing right?
Much love!

How to fix your yarn swift!
March 22, 2011
Hi friends!
How’s it going?
So, I just wanted to share a way to fix or reinforce your yarn swift! The one thing I wanted to note that I didn’t in the video below is that when you attach the zip ties, don’t make them too tight, you want them to be the same circumference of the loop of twine that was in its place. That will allow for flexibility and movement of those parts for different sized skeins.

J’adore Goulet Pens!
February 25, 2011
Bonjour mes amis!
So, if you’re hooked up with Darn Good Yarn then you’re a supporter of non-”big boxed” businesses. Many of us live in communities where these publicly traded companies have bled out the small “mom and pops”. This is why I wanted to bring another great company: The Goulet Pen Company: http://www.gouletpens.com
Go check em out!
