Gorgeous and Fun

I enjoyed working with this yarn. It's sturdy, funky, and the colors work up in a lovely mottled sort of way. I know a purse with it.

Beautiful yarn. Ball is quite

Beautiful yarn. Ball is quite small though&

I love the variety, it is pretty and colorful. Now to figure out what to use it for :)

Beautiful texture, love it.

Beautiful texture, love it.

Thank you so much for the positive rating:heartpulse:-Claudia

Makes Me Smile

Still have no idea what I am going to use it for but that is okay bc it is just pretty sitting there too. This is my second one I have gotten. This is the second one I have ordered and this one did have a chunk of bark or something twisted in. I pulled it out. Still love it. Will probably continue getting them with orders and one day have enough for a backpack/bag. I don't find it to be the softest so nothing around my neck will be made from this yarn. This yarn's texture and colors make me smile.

Hi Eleanor!We hope you can use it in other crafting ideas but we know eventually there will be a good project you can use it to:hearts: -Claudia

This is by far my

This is by far my favorite DGY fiber to knit with. The colors blend beautifully and it just gets softer with wear.

Yay! Awesome.Thank you, Susie!:hearts: -Claudia

Love the colors!

Each one was slightly different. As I am using this alternating with DGY's chiffon ribbon, I can easily alternate which ball I use. Or just use one or two balls, depending on the exact project.

Thank you so much for the positive rating:heartpulse:-Claudia

Absolutely love the colors in

Absolutely love the colors in this yarn!

Awesome! Thanks so much, Kelly!:blush:

Beautiful color

This yarn is challenging to knit with at first, but it gets easier the more you work with it and the results are worth it. All the color is so pretty. This has become another DGY favorite of mine

Yay! So happy. Thank you so much:heart_eyes:-Claudia

Wild Peacock

This yarn is beautiful art. It does all the work when adding an artistic touch to any project. Use a lot or a little, very versatile. Since its so socially and environmentally conscious its easy to be inclined to add some to just about any project to create a unique gift for sharing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating. We really appreciate it. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future:slightly_smiling:-Claudia

Great for crafting

My roommate doesn't understand why I buy yarn if I don't knit or crochet. CRAFTING! I have been braiding, knotting and weaving for 40+ years and I find that DGY's selection of yarns pique my creativity. I can mix and match yarns and the colors are fantastic.

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

LynnieT

Love the beautiful bold colors of this worsted weight yarn. I have used it to weave with and its lovely.

Thank you so much for your kind words :) I am so happy that you are enjoying your yarn and its beautiful colors!

Lynn from Michigan

This is one of my favs! The colors are great and its really cool to weave with.

Bright colors

This yarn was exactly what I needed to add interest to my craft project. Maybe someday Ill learn to knit but for now Ill just enjoy the yarn in my project. Its so interesting and unusual!

Colors!!

The colors and rich and vibrant. The feel of the fiber is wonderful and works up beautifully!

Love this yarn!

This yarn is so unique and special - Ive never worked with something like this before! I finally decided on the perfect project to make sure this yarn really stands out. Will definitely order more!

So pretty

This is very similar to the banana fiber yarn I love so much. The colors are different than those pictured, but I expected there to be some variation.

Beautiful results

The balls that I received were more red than blue/green, there were some wood pieces woven into the yarn (which I'm told is common with recycled silk), and the yarn was a little challenging to work with because it kept twisting itself into knots as I was working. With all of that said, it was definitely worth it. I ended up with a beautiful and unique purse that I am proud to show off when I go out.

Beautiful, interesting yarn!

I havent started anything with it yet, but I love color and textures and it has it!

Wild Peacock silk yarn

The colors are magnificent! I love the feel of the yarn for looming.

Really lovely

This yarn has a great texture. So happy I found DGY!

Crazy fun yarn

Love the colors, love the composition, and love this yarn!

Very lovely but...

A very lovely yarn, the colors were perfect for what I wanted. My only problem is that it is a bit stringy-er and not as consistent as I had anticipated. I had assumed that it would be more like the skein I received in the yarn of the month bag. Still a very lovely yarn though.

Thank you for your feedback Aubrie!! :)

Had to throw away 90% of the yarn

The yarn is beautiful and sooooo soft, but the tangled mess was too much. After a week of working on it, I may have enough to make a book mark. I had to just throw it out! I want to buy more, but Im worried this will happen again.

oh no Denise! We are sorry to hear about the tangles! We recommend using a swift. Another trick is when you twist it out of the skein, place the opening of the circle onto your knee while you ball it up. :) Always feel free to email us at info@darngoodyarn too!

Wrong product sent

I ordered four balls of this recycled silk. Two were the peacock and two were some other recycled silk. I am waiting for a response.

A Wonderful color and feels

A Wonderful color and feels silky soft. Perfect for a Bactus Scarf !!

It looks beautiful. I will

It looks beautiful. I will be using it as an accent in a weaving project that I am still warping the loom for. I expect it will be just right.
