Press Spotlight: Nicole Snow on the Power of Sustainable Creativity

We’re excited to share a recent NewsBreak feature on our founder, Nicole Snow, who’s been leading the charge to make sustainability and creativity more accessible than ever in 2025.

Nicole opens up about how Darn Good Yarn started as a passion project with a mission to reuse, repurpose, and reimagine waste materials—especially reclaimed sari silk from India—and how it's grown into a global community of makers, artists, and conscious shoppers.

“Crafting and creativity should never be limited by access or income. Everyone deserves the chance to make something beautiful—and sustainable.”
— Nicole Snow, Founder of Darn Good Yarn

This feature dives into:

  • 🌍 How Nicole built an upcycled fashion and craft empire from her savings
  • 🤝 Why fair-trade partnerships are at the heart of every DGY product
  • 🎨 How creativity is a form of self-expression, healing, and empowerment
  • 📦 What’s ahead for Darn Good Yarn in 2025 and beyond

It’s a heartfelt and inspiring look at the mission that drives every stitch and every skirt at Darn Good Yarn. 💜
