About Darn Good Yarn:

Darn Good Yarn is a women-owned US studio that sources recycled silk and silk-blend yarn from women’s co-ops in Nepal and India. Their Twist line is a 2-ply silk sport weight — smoother and finer-gauge than the ribbon yarns, dyed in painterly shifting palettes that read like watercolour on the needle.
