Banana Silk yarn is made from the fiber of the banana tree. The
fiber is refined, processed and wound onto skeins in Nepal by our
women workers. This beautiful yarn comes from a renewable,
sustainable and environmentally-friendly source. It is very soft
and comes in brilliant jewel like hues.
Only the decaying outer layers of the trees (aged bark) are
harvested and soaked under water to quicken the natural processes.
When all of the chlorophyll structures are dissolved, the cellulose
fibers remain. These are extruded into pulp and made suitable for
spinning into yarn.
We hand dye the banana fiber yarn with a variety of vibrant,
brilliant saturated pigments to produce a fabulous range of soft,
shiny handspun yarns in a wide range of beautiful colors. Knitting
up like a bulky yarn, it's great for hats, shawls, scarves, and
bags. It has a slightly fuzzy texture and a shines like lip gloss.
