About Dark Yarn
Dark Yarn exists at the intersection of identity, expression, and purpose. Our work is rooted in the belief that fashion should not only celebrate individuality — it should empower it. Every piece we create is designed to reflect the richness of lived experience and the courage it takes to stand unapologetically in your truth.
To strengthen that mission, Dark Yarn has partnered with The Reasoned Reality Project, an independent, evidence-based think tank that supports democratic resilience and community uplift. Reasoned Reality serves as the impact partner and administrative steward of Dark Yarn’s impact initiatives, ensuring contributions from eligible product sales are allocated responsibly, transparently, and in alignment with our shared values.
Dark Yarn is the embodiment of what’s often hidden — the private thoughts, the unspoken fears, the deep truths we carry alone. But here, we carry them together. We believe our darkness isn’t something to hide. It’s something to honor. Because in that honesty lives power.
How The Partnership works
The Reasoned Reality Project
Through this partnership, Dark Yarn designates a portion of proceeds from identified collections to support the Dark Yarn Impact Initiative. Reasoned Reality then administers and oversees the allocation of those funds toward vetted nonprofit organizations, community programs, and democracy-supporting efforts.
This collaboration allows us to keep the model simple, transparent, and purpose-driven — without involving private equity, outside ownership, or corporate influence.
What We Stand For
- Visibility, dignity, and human rights
- Evidence-based social impact
- Transparent, community-centered commerce
- Real-world outcomes instead of performative gestures
When you choose Dark Yarn, you not only express yourself — you support impact programs that advance equality, civic well-being, and community resilience, administered in partnership with Reasoned Reality.
