Box
  • In stock, ready to ship
  • Inventory on the way

At least nine skeins of recycled silk, worth $18 or more each. 

Someone here goes through what's just come in from our artisans in India and Nepal and puts a box together by hand — different weights, different fibers, colorways that don't obviously go together until you see them side by side. Then it ships and you find out what you got.

Cynthia put it better than we do: "Very cool selection of yarns in surprise stash. I rec'd different weights and color ways."

What's in every Editor's box October Edition and Sari Silk Ribbon Edition: 

  • 9+ skeins of recycled silk
  • $162 or more of yarn at retail value
  • A mix of weights, fibers and colorways
  • Notions in some boxes

The Crocheter's Treasure Box Includes: 

  • 2 handmade artisan crochet hooks, each with its own character
  • 3 digital patterns delivered straight to your inbox
  • 5 skeins of eco-friendly recycled silk yarn

The Knitter's Treasure Box Includes: 

  • 2 sets of handmade knitting needles, each with its own character
  • 3 knitting patterns to inspire your next projects
  • 5 skeins of eco-friendly recycled silk yarn

Before you order

  • Every box is different. We can't take requests for specific colors or weights, and yours won't look like the photo.
  • Editor's Boxes are final sale — no returns or exchanges.
  • Some boxes ship in a bag instead of a box. It's lighter, which means less carbon on the way to you.

Every skein in here was spun by hand by artisans in India and Nepal. Buying one supports that work, which is the reason this company exists.

The perfect box for me!

The selections in this box were a wonderful surprise! I received four hanks, four cakes, and two sock yarns, all of them beautiful and most of them so soft. The textures and colors are amazing, and I can't wait to use them! I also received a book on how to design and create custom crocheted sweaters, which is right up my alley as an intermediate crocheter looking for new challenges. This was really the perfect box for me, and I am so glad I made this purchase!

Thank you so much for the positive rating. We're happy that you're satisfied with your order:slightly_smiling:-Claudia

This was my first time

This was my first time ordering any sort of mystery or editors box. Although I love the yarns overall, I was disappointed that the two sock kits were the exact same colors of yarn and the little book was crochet instead of knitting.

Like a birthday gift to yourself ❤️

This was a lot of fun and there were a lot of nice surprises in it. I've already made a winter hat from the chunky wool that I got to dye myself, a sun hat with the sparkly white yarn, and I crocheted myself a yarn bowl from the Spice Market silk that was in there. I have a few more interesting things planned as well. Oh, and since it turns out that the sock yarn is going to be used in the Boss Beanie KAL, I bought the pattern, and I'm going to be doing that too! I have to admit, that I'm just super excited about everything I got in this box. It was well worth the price.

It was perfect!

I got the 8th edition, and it was perfect! I couldn't love it more if I had picked out everything from the warehouse myself. It was stuffed with extremely high quality lace weight yarns and a book on how to knit with lace yarns that includes techniques, stitches, patterns, and some other fun extras. If you want to double your stash, order two, like I did. The only downside is that you will also get two of the same craft books (I don't mind 😉 One for travel and one for home). Otherwise, get different editions, and see what the different boxes have in store for you. I also loved that I knew- for the most part- exactly what was in it before I ordered. That way I was sure I would love my box and knew it was going to be money well spent.

The editors box isnan economical way to try out different types of yarn available at Darn Good

The editors box is good way to be exposed to the different types of yarn available from Darn Good Yarns. You get to experience working with a variety of yarn so you can decide if you like it without having to pay to purchase a project-completing amount and then find you don't really care for it. I found some I liked and others I probably wouldn't want to work with. The little gifts like the fancy stitch markers and "home made" tags are really cute too!

Hi Janis! Thanks so much for your lovely review 😊 We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring our yarns and loved the little gifts. Happy crocheting and knitting! 🌟 -DGY Team

Beautiful Fibre content

Beautiful Fibre content, washii tape, Sakura blossom stitch markers and I think the other item is a bookmark but im not sure. I have multiple skeins of everything but the rainbow worsted recycled silk to make larger projects. I can't wait to get started.

I was SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!

This was my first purchase from Darn Good Yarn, and I am very pleased with my order! The yarn is LOVELY and I'm so looking forward to using it. I did experience an issue with the sari skirt I purchased (I asked for cool colors and I got warm colors) but I will find a way to use the skirt anyway. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.

Hi Jean Ashley, we're so glad to hear you're happy with your first purchase! 😊 Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience. We appreciate your understanding about the sari skirt, and we hope you find a creative way to use it. -DGY Team

Nice yarn but get the same colors over and over

When will I learn? Asked for no more Enchanted Lagoon in the comments of the order because I have so much of it and got more of it anyway. And a lot of yarn colors I had already received in the box of the month (6 daffodil!) and 6 of the same rainbow color cakes. This is the last time I order the Editor's box because clearly it is overloaded with all the colors that don’t sell and hardly any of those that might be harder to get otherwise. Disappointed. Quality still good though.

Thank you for your honest feedback, and we’re sorry for the disappointment this time. Our Editor’s Box and mystery-style bundles are pre-packed based on available overstock, which means we aren’t able to take specific color requests or exclusions.

We completely understand how frustrating it can feel to receive duplicates, especially when you already have those colors. Your comments are still very helpful, and we’ll share them with our team as we continue refining how these bundles are curated.

We truly appreciate your support and are glad you still value the yarn quality. 😊 -DGY Team

Great value fun yarn!
