If I can give a zero star I would’ve. This company is terrible. Don’t fall for the hype!
I ordered the 3 plus 2 skirts over a month ago, and was very excited because their products (on the photos) are beautiful and I couldn’t wait to where them! I still haven’t received a dispatch email, or tracking number. It’s not a custom item, no it’s out of their overflow stock.
I have been in contact with customer service to be told that there has been a back log of orders and that they will be in touch soon with my order as they are nearing the end of the back log.
Now, in my mind soon is a couple of days, maybe a week, but three weeks later and I am none the wiser as to what the state of my order is!
I will definitely never make use of this company again!

Th silk yarn that I bought was coarse
Th silk yarn that I bought was coarse, rough, stiff and ragged. I tried washing the skeins and the colors ran plus the yarn is not any softer. I cannot make anything out of the yarn and will not buy from this company again.

I put in an order a month ago and still…
I put in an order a month ago and still have not received tracking and customer service said it was normal not to receive anything after waiting this long. I didn’t have anything custom made. I ordered 2 skirts from their existing inventory.
I am wondering if this is a legit company. They took my money, but did not send the goods, nor provided shipping info.

Don't fall for the hype of a "theme"…
Don't fall for the hype of a "theme" skirt sale. They attach what sounds like a fun and exciting sale where the expectation would naturally be skirts curated within that theme. That's not what happens at all, its a ploy to get suckers like me to buy the skirts. The utter disappointment when they arrive and no where is the theme evident but additionally the skirt panels themselves clash making pairing them with anything impossible. I used the words hideous and ugly in my return request which was sent the day after I finally received them. I'm going on nearly a month now since they received the skirts back and not only have I not received a refund but there seems to be a concerted effort to ignore my emails. I don't care at this point how altruistic their mission is. Crappy customer service doesn't deserve to be rewarded.

TL;DR Don't buy if not in US.
TL;DR: If you don't live in the U.S - don't order. Wrong colour, no solution, blaming the customer (while admitting mistakes in mail I don't think I was supposed to receive), and communication breakdown.
You can order same products from India, and they arrive quicker and you get what ask for.
Full review;
I'm not in the US and as such this is based on experiences of their service to overseas customers.
I had wanted to order one of their wrap skirts for years, and was really excited about finally ordering one. I chose size, length and colour range, put in my order and waited.
When it finally arrived I was disappointed to say the least. The colours were the exact opposite of what my request was. I sent a mail and was met with what I thought was a C.E.O. who truly wanted to help. She sent my initial mail to someone else and there started weeks of no actual answers or solutions, receiving mails with requests for reviews both of garment and customer service, trying to reach out again (after waiting a few days between every one because I actually don't except people getting back to me in seconds). After a couple of weeks of these roundabouts I get an offering for a voucher of 10$. I honestly got a bit offended as the same day or day before the company had sent out vouchers at that amount to everyone (I assume) on their mailing list. I replied this and that it wouldn't even cover shipping. Afterwards I received an email where ceo and another person was included written to them - I don't think I should have been included in it - where it was stated that I "wasn't willing" because I said her solutions wasn't working for me and that at that point I would rather just sell the skirt and recoup most of my money, and leave an honest review. There was also some other questions and the last one really put me of as that was what to do when they sent out the wrong colours.
That person had tried to tell me that the colour choices was just a "request" and could not be guaranteed. (I since wonder if that also applies to size and length?) But in the last mail I received it was asked right out as what to do when wrong colours were sent out.
I waited to see if anything more would come, but since then there not been a word.
I ended up leaving it at that, ordering a skirt of the same type from India (it arrived much quicker!, other skirt will be sold, and after leaving this review I'm gonna purge my inbox of and unsubscribe to this company's insane amount of emails.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I sincerely apologize for the disappointment and frustration you’ve encountered, especially with something you were so excited about.
It’s clear that we didn’t meet your expectations, both in terms of the product and the service you received, and for that, I am truly sorry. Your experience is not reflective of the standard we strive to uphold, especially for our international customers.
Regarding the mix-up with the colors and the subsequent communication issues, I completely understand how this would be disheartening. We should have handled the situation better, providing you with a more satisfactory resolution in a timely manner.
I also apologize if the voucher offered didn’t feel appropriate or sufficient for your situation. We never intended to add to your frustration, and I regret that our efforts to resolve this fell short.
As for the email you received by mistake, I’m very sorry for the confusion and any offense it caused. That was an internal conversation meant to determine the best way to assist you, and it was an error that you were included.
We’d like to make things right for you. Please let me know if you’d be open to discussing an alternative resolution, such as a refund or a replacement skirt in the correct colors. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we value your feedback as an opportunity to improve.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused and hope to restore your trust in our company.

Bringing happiness and saving the planet
I found this amazing store and community just before COVID hit.
The beautiful skirts and welcoming community really helped to lift my spirits and gave me something to look forward to each month.
I love that my skirts help reduce landfill and give hope and dignity to the women who make them. They have also created a community of support from women around the world who are always kind.
Every skirt is unique. They are wearable art and make me feel loved whenever I put them on.

I went from a nearly all black wardrobe to so many colors and so much fun thanks to Darn Good Yarn. Customer service is fantastic and the Facebook skirt community is the ONLY Facebook community I’ve ever been a part of that I’ve never seen a squabble. Everyone is so kind and helpful. And, Sam! Sam at DGY is fabulous. She is always willing to help a customer. She’s a shopaholic enabler for sure, but I’ll forgive that. LOL!
Response from Darn Good YarnJul 22, 2024
Terrific! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. Sam is feeling ecstatic right now!! :)
