Behold a unique banana fiber yarn that's great for lace work and slinky projects! 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.
The yarn: An exclusive to Darn Good Yarn! 96g/85yd balls (not skeins) of handspun DK/Sport weight banana fiber handspun in India in a women's co-op. I used US size 10 (6mm) needles in garter I got 3 stitches per inch.
So let's travel around a little bit and explore the Landscapes of Juneau, Key West, Montreal and Santa Barbara.
It feels like a rayon and should be washed by hand please!
