  • DGY's Premium Recycled Silk Yarn

$7.23

New Lower Price!

This is the yarn that put Darn Good Yarn on the map. Artsy, playful, and inspirational. This worsted weight yarn is handspun in women's co-ops in Nepal and India and made from remnants of new silk. So, not only are you getting an incredibly unique yarn, you're creating jobs for others.

Each ball is about 100g and contains approximately 90 yards of yarn. Every ball is slightly different too, with no dye lots but tons of character. Remember, this isn't spun up by machines in plants but in co-ops which give jobs to women who are paid fair wages and there is no child labor used.

We suggest size US 8-10 (5-6mm, UK/Canada 6-4). Depending on your knitting your gauge will be about 3-4 stitches per inch (13-15 stitches per 10 cm).

You can choose the types of hues you'd like too!

EXCLUSIVE to Darn Good Yarn: Remember, when you order this yarn with DGY, you're going to get this great yarn in balls not cumbersome skeins. So, when you get your package, you can get crafting right away and not pay extra for that little luxury!
