DARN GOOD YARN Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn Tibet Jewels Dyeable 100 Grams, 50 Yards, 1 Skein Handmade one of a Kind

I've gotten this twice, now. I NEED MORE!! First of all, I LOVE sari material! ESPECIALLY the silk!! I LOVE that it's reclaimed! I LOVE the colors!!! As long as you understand that the strips are only lightly tacked end to end, you'll be fine. Just be a little careful. HOWEVER! Once it's knitted or crocheted, it's extremely strong! So far, I've made 2 plant hangers. I did a single crochet and wrapped a ceramic pot and wove in the hanger with the same "rope". That's what's in the photo. I made it for my mom and she absolutely loves it. Yes, she legit loves it. I can tell when she fake loves something after 48 years. 😂 Anyway! I got the 2nd skein to make another version and I love it! I'm keeping that one. The patterns and colors are so incredible, I actually took pictures to blow up and put on the wall! I love texture photos. It's expensive but, I know how much silk costs so, it's totally reasonable.

I wasn’t expecting this yarn to be so gorgeous. Thin strips of recycled sari fabric sewn into a long strip of yarn. As the saris are cut, the little threads create a gorgeous variety of colors. Thick and thin, all colors, fluffy and smooth. Just amazing! Oh, and the quantity is generous. It arrives wound into a tight twist, very fun to unravel and roll it into a useful ball. Can’t wait to weave something!

This arrived fairly quickly, about 5 days... that was ahead of schedule according to the estimate. The colors are stunning and the quality is exactly what I was hoping for. It is a very versatile supply to have. As a papercrafter I wasn't sure if this would get much use, but I can already see that I will go through this very quickly. It is great to have a recycled material that is authentic and it is so incredible to use in my projects... looks fantastic! Darn Good Yarn... darn right! It's worth spending a little more over other options when you get something of great quality like this.

Fabulous variety of vibrant colors for mixed media projects. Love the texture too.

I bought this skein of recycle sari silk to use for plant dyeing. I often use them to test colors after I cut them in small strips. I have also dyed them and crafted with them... A lot of irregularity but that is part of the fun. They are also sewn together in segments to make a long ball of silk 'yarn' -- but that doesn't bother me as I am using strips anyway. They are about 2' in length -- each strip that is sewn together. Here is a picture of silk that I dyed with Mexican marigolds -- so brilliant!

I have never ordered sari silk ribbon before, but I'm getting into junk journaling, so I thought I'd give it a try. This is just a pile of soft, vintage loveliness! It does have seams throughout where one piece has been sewn to another, but the look, color & feel are all lovely. And you get a LOT! I'm using mine to make tassels. It has a nice tea-stained look. VERY pretty! The only downside is it gets wisps of ribbon when you cut it, kind of like a trailing spider web. They're easy enough to cut off, though, and don't seem to cause any real harm to the remaining ribbon.

I’ve rarely been so excited for a delivery, followed by hours of annoyance just to make the product somewhat useful. I wanted to love this ribbon, and I suppose I still do, but only after a huge effort of knotted strings and tangled rats nests and tying ribbon back together. At the eventual completion of re-rolling the whole thing, there were three pieces that were so thin and fragile that they shouldn’t even have been used. I do love the bright colors. Would have liked having a few patterned pieces included but I think I’ve made it useful in the end. There was a lot I had to throw away but what is left really is quite beautiful. I doubt that I will be a return customer but will definitely pay more attention to bad reviews in the future. So if you have a few hours to kill, and maybe have half of what you start with when you are done cleaning up their mess, go ahead and buy this beautiful ribbon.

I purchased this "yarn" for use in my class on Natural Dyeing. It accepted the dye readily with beautiful shades. It is an interesting concept of recycling silk saris; due to the age and former use of the saris, the fabrics have been degummed and ready for dyeing.they
