DARN GOOD YARN Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn “Partly Cloudy” 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!

Dye lot and quality of silk are consistent and good. I plan to use it to embellish art quilts.

I was skeptical with some of the negative reviews, but absolutely love this ribbon! I wish they had more solid colors. Perfect for my rustic shabby garlands I sell. Quality and not skimpy thin ribbon. Various size widths and I love the knots in them. I will check back often to see if they sell any more colors. I went to order more but the seller does not have the Ivory in stock. Hoping they will get more soon as this is the BEST.

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 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

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.

Colors are quite accurate

I loved the rustic distressed look. I am a textile artist and love to dye wool and silk for my projects. The sample is supposed to look jet black, so I suspected it was not silk when the dye would not absorb to dark black, as you can see in the photo. I received good customer service for a refund, although not so good when I see the product description has not been changed at this point in time.

it was as advertised, and i was really happy with this item, and it arrived as advertised on time

Beautiful. Just what I needed. As expected
