An Eco-Friendly Yarn: What is Ribbon Yarn? Sari Silk Ribbon is not only a beautiful fibre, but it has a fascinating story behind its origin as well. It can be used in so many different projects, from classic fibre work such as knit and crochet, to trendy DIY projects and jewellery making. Sari Silk Ribbon is made from 100% Sari Silk material. It’s often called “Recycled Sari Silk Yarn”, but don’t let that fool you! Sari Silk Ribbon isn’t actually made in the same way that traditional recycled goods are made, but rather it is derived from remnants of Sari material that is either left over from creating the full Saris, or from Saris that are no longer wearable. As opposed to throwing this material into landfills. This material is salvaged and created into something usable, whilst giving the women making it the chance to provide for their families by receiving a salary for their creations. We use 100% recycled and reclaimed Sari Silk to lovingly wrap your orders with.
We also use natural, vegan friendly hemp yarn to wrap orders with. Another beautifully sustainable choice. ♻ Much of this yarn is made directly from plants in India, and on occasions parts of plants or trees may be noticeable in the yarns.
Here at The Dark Island Soap Co. HQ, we prioritise reusing and recycling. We use packaging that arrives from stock orders to either shred down and use as protective padding for your orders, and also, to use as secondary "safety boxes" to house your main order boxes in. If we ever receive plastic, you may see it in with your order (as bubble wrap to take an example), as we would rather reuse this harmful material (hoping that you will, too!) than just discard it straight to a landfill.
We are proud to be Peta-approved for zero animal cruelty in our products.
