Q: What is Shop Darling?

A: In February 2019, Style Blogger Jessi Afshin created Shop Darling, a small family-run business that provides you, sister, with encouraging and *trending* cozies that are prayerfully designed and created to stir Christ-centered conversation. Moreover, a portion of every sale helps support young survivors of trafficking, violence and addiction who are in the process of restoring and rebuilding their lives and hearts at The Refuge Ranch in Austin, Texas.

Q: My pullover has variations in color or small raised threads. Is this normal?
