Artist and Business Owner Betters Lives around the World with “Darn Good Yarn”.
WEBWIRE – Saturday, August 21, 2010
In early 2008, Nicole Snow decided to take two of her passions in life—art and helping others—and combine them. The result was “Darn Good Yarn” a yarn and fiber importer, wholesaler, and retailer….
Nicole began to import yarn from Nepal, offering fair compensation to those she purchased from and providing countless jobs for those who would otherwise be unemployed….
Nicole’s strive to provide high-quality yarn at low prices while improving the lives of people around the globe has garnered her a following of extremely happy customers, as well as a slew of wholesale clients.
“I love the way Nicole does business and customer service is a priority for her” says Ali, an artist and one of Darn Good Yarns many repeat clients. “Her yarn is colorful and strong, and because of that, anything I make turns into a ’waterfall of gorgeous”...
“For me, the priority is giving fair rates to my suppliers and helping them live better lives… even if it means less profit for me” Snow explains. “I keep business with one of my exporters even though he charges more—he supports his mother and three sisters who live in Western Nepal”
For now, Nicole Snow is slowly building her business into a major player in the knitting industry, while keeping in touch with the reasons she started in the first place. “I am really excited to grow the company” she says. “The bigger Darn Good Yarn gets, the more people I am able to help”
