Such nice quality yarns and a nice variety of high quality fibers. The Yarn Of The Month Box is suuuper fun too! I highly recommend you check them out. The facebook group for their monthly box is one of my favorite social media pages as well. It really is a fun experience all around and I've thoroughly enjoyed all the fun packages I've gotten from them over the last few months.

Beautiful Skirts!
April 27, 2019

I received my skirts within a week of ordering and they are beautiful. I purchased them as gifts and the recipients love them. And, I can't say enough about the exceptional customer service. I will definitely be ordering more.

Update:
Amanda reached out and apologized profusely. She promised to handle my exchange personally and ship it out first thing Monday.
I ordered 5 skirts 3/14/19 (buy 2 get 3 free promotion). They took a long time to arrive and I needed to return all of them to be exchanged as they did not fit the description I provided. I shipped them UPS at my expense ($26) and with the tracking info I could see they were accepted by "Snow" 4/10/19 at 11:17am. It is now 4/19/19 and I STILL have not recieved confirmation that they have been received, or that my exchange is being processed. I had to email them to request the number THEY require to avoid restocking fees. I have emailed them 3 times in regards to the status of my return and have recieved lack luster form emails in return. I tried chatting only to receive a generic "we're working on it and will send you an email when we process your exchange". I have reached out to no avail. The customer service experience I've had with Darn Good Yarn has been on par with scam companies that operate from China. I'm one Monday away from reporting the transaction to my credit card company as fraudulent. A little communication is all I have asked and I've been repeatedly ghosted.
I don't recommend this company at all.

New ti knitting and still finding my style
I was SO excited about my yarn I ordered 2 more! For a shawl - It was going to be a gift but I think I will keep it
I normally knit things requiring longer needles than I was sent but they are so cute I may have to knit some wash cloths! And haven't tried crocheting yet but hope to soon

So easy to say I loved my box!

The subscription box is perfect for a busy and creative person such as myself. I've seen the ads on Facebook for it for some time and only recently ordered a subscription box. Didn't disappoint and will renew when finished with current yarn projects

Fun new projects
March 21, 2019

I hadn't knitted in several years, i saw the ad on Facebook and thought this could be a way to get back into it so a am getting the box once a month with a project and yarn. It has the instructions in both knitting and crocheting. I haven't crocheted before but want to learn. Yay!

Great yarn
March 16, 2019

I loved my first darn good yarn of the month box. It included yarn, crochet hook and knitting needle set and it came with a mystery gift that I absolutely love. The yarn was super soft. I can't wait for next months box.

I couldn't believe how beautiful my 5 skirts and to my surprise they are reversible so 10 skirts! I hesitated buying because I live in Canada and the exchange rate makes them more pricey BUT they are worth every penny. Gorgeous fabric and colours!

My husband ordered the introductory box for me for my birthday in January. It came in a timely manner and I enjoyed what I received. I was excited to get the next box! He was charged for February's box on I believe the first week of February and by March 1st it had not been fulfilled. He reached out through email and was told there was an issue with their merchandiser and the box would come as soon as that was resolved. That's okay but in the mean time he's about to be charged for the March box with no indication when we would receive the February box. And they didn't offer to delay the subscription or give a coupon for our delay. I don't know anyone in their right mind who would be okay being charged twice and not receiving product.

Hi Becky!

I am so sorry for this experience! The second Box was a bit delay but we believe all of those customers who were affected is about to get this package this week. Almost all of the packages were delivered today. We have also sent an email that we have included an extra item and added rewards to your account due this inconvenience. If you have not receive any response, can you email or call us so we can help you track your order?. Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon!

Love it!
February 27, 2019

I just want to say that darn good yarn is awesome! I have already received and finished knitting my first box! The yarn was honestly the softest thing I have ever felt in my life and that's what made knitting it so enjoyable. One thing I would say though is that the first box's knitting pattern makes the cowl curl up on the sides. It would have been nice to be warned of this in the pattern directions, but I guess I should have known since it was a purl/knit pattern! All in all though, 5 stars and I can't wait for my next box!

I ordered one wrap skirt and was a little nervous about not seeing it. It was a clearance one so I wasn't expecting great colors. It's beautiful! Teals and blues are my absolute favorites. I just ordered 3 more.
