Celebrate St. Patrick's Day and Be Good to the Environment with Eco-Friendly Green Clothing!
As Spring quickly approaches, we're beginning to see green all around. This isn't only because of the newly growing grass or blooming trees (and no, we're not feeling envy either) but St. Patrick's Day is soon approaching! To celebrate Ireland's most famous patron saint, businesses and families decorate with shamrocks and green glitter. If St. Patrick's Day is among your yearly traditions, then you know that the wearing of green for the occasion is a must!
This year, you can wear a St. Patrick's Day outfit that is not only green in color but is eco-friendly, too! Here at Darn Good Yarn, we have a selection of clothing that will make this St. Patrick's Day your most fashionable yet! Here are some of our green and eco-friendly options!
Sari Silk Medley Scarves
A scarf is the perfect accessory for when you need a subtle yet noticeable splash of color in your outfit. Our Sari Silk Medley Scarves are handmade by our co-op partners in India. The women who work in the co-op's create each scarf by cutting and sewing together 7 strips of recycled sari silk fabric. These scarves come in a wide variety of colors, including bright shamrock shades of green!
Sari Wrap Skirts
If you've been following Darn Good Yarn for a while, you are probably already familiar with our popular sari wrap skirts! These skirts are a staff favorite for vacations, summer festivals, and everyday wear. Made from recycled saris these skirts are available in all kinds of colors and patterns including shades of green for St. Paddy's Day!
Because each one of these skirts is completely unique, you will have the advantage of dressing for the holiday with the assurance that your outfit is distinctly different from that of any of your friends or co-workers!
Short Tunics
Our short tunics are perfect for this time of year. They're silky and airy on those warm spring days, but can be easily layered when a little chill comes back to surprise us. Just like our skirts, they come in a variety of colors, including those gorgeous greens!

With our selection of recycled yarns, you can create DIY and eco-friendly items in bright and festive shades of green that will last for many St. Patrick's Day celebrations to come.
