Darn Good Yarn sells yarn, recycled sari silk among it, alongside patterns, kits, crafting tools and boho women's clothing, accessories and home decor made with artisan partners in India and Nepal.
Its most useful saving needs no code: standard US shipping turns free from $99, but an order holding a gift card, heading abroad or going to a PO box loses it.
Darn Good Yarn is led by owner and CEO Nicole Snow, and its policies describe it as a small business that is both woman-owned and veteran-owned. The company was set up to create fair, lasting work for artisans, with its main production in and around Bhagalpur, India. Its signature yarns and ribbons start as sari remnants and factory seconds that artisans tear by hand and stitch into strands; the company says this work employs more than 300 artisans and keeps textile waste out of landfills and rivers.
Beyond single skeins, it runs subscription clubs such as Yarn of the Month, Skirt of the Month and The Collector's Crochet Hook Club, and it publishes free patterns, tutorials, a stitch learning center and a yarn yardage calculator for knitters, crocheters and weavers.

From Darn Good Yarn's own pages, read Nov 8, 2026.
Darn Good Yarn sells through Shopify, where the discount box sits on the checkout page's order summary.
The 15% welcome code comes from signing up by email or SMS, so that step has to happen before checkout.
Free US shipping at $99 is applied automatically and works with most sales and promo codes, but not with the 35% monthly club coupon or club membership discounts.
The rewards terms add that only one discount is allowed per order, so a Karma Points coupon and a sign-up code are an either-or choice.
Putting a gift card in the basket removes free shipping from that order.

If your Darn Good Yarn code doesn't work
Exclusions: Free US shipping excludes orders containing gift cards, international addresses and PO boxes.
Combining offers: Free shipping works with most sales and promo codes but not with the club members' 35% monthly coupon or club membership discounts.
New customers only: "Promo code DGYWELCOME10" is for a first order.
Club membership carries the heaviest discount on the site: 5% off every order plus a 35% coupon each month, although that coupon then blocks free shipping.
Karma Points reward activity beyond purchases and are redeemed for rewards, but points vanish after a year without account activity.
Banner bundles such as the Twilight Market deal of 2 sari wrap skirts for $59.99 appear for limited periods.
Club subscriptions can be cancelled at any time before the next scheduled charge.
