We've got some exciting news to share: Darn Good Yarn was just named one of the best craft subscription boxes by Taste of Home — specifically, the "Best for Yarn" pick in their roundup of more than 100 subscription boxes they've tested over the years.
If you've ever wondered whether our Yarn of the Month Club is worth it, here's a thoughtful third-party review that says yes — and we couldn't be more grateful for the shout-out.
What Taste of Home Said About Our Yarn of the Month Club
In their feature, Taste of Home shopping editor Emily Way and her team tested craft subscription boxes across every category — baking, candles, miniatures, stickers, flowers — and crowned Darn Good Yarn the standout for fiber artists. A few of the highlights they called out:
- Three skeins of matching, hand-dyed yarn every month, centered on a seasonal theme
- High-quality recycled silk yarn made from reclaimed materials
- An instruction booklet with project patterns and inspiration in every box
- A surprise bonus trinket — past testers received metal bookmarks, handmade satchels, and washi tape
- A genuinely affordable price point at just $25 a month
The reviewer described being consistently impressed across a three-month subscription, noting that each month's colors and dye patterns worked up beautifully in real crochet projects. Her sign-off? She'd happily call herself a Darn Good Yarn fan for life — and she's betting you will be, too.
The boxes earned the "Best for Yarn" spot because they pair gorgeous, limited-edition reclaimed silk with everything a maker needs to start creating right away — no extra shopping trips required.
Why a Yarn Subscription Is the Easy Way to Keep Creating
The crafting experts Taste of Home consulted made a point we love: a good subscription should fit your life rather than add another obligation. A box arriving in the mail is a gentle, low-pressure nudge to carve out time for yourself, skip the decision fatigue of sourcing supplies, and let fresh materials spark new ideas.
That's exactly what we built the Yarn of the Month Club to do. Every shipment is a small dose of creative happy mail:
- Build your stash with yarn you won't find anywhere else
- Get a little project inspiration with included patterns
- Support a sustainable supply chain — our yarn is made from reclaimed sari silk, giving beautiful materials a second life
Good to Know Before You Subscribe
In the spirit of the honest review that got us here, a couple of things worth knowing: our yarns are limited edition, so each month's colorway is a one-time surprise you can't repurchase later — that's part of the fun, but plan accordingly if you fall in love with a shade. And because every skein is curated by us, there's no choice of yarn gauge. What you get is a thoughtfully matched trio meant to play well together.
