Need to make something soft, like a hat, a throw, a shall, legwarmers, early-fall scarves or a handbag? Then this banana fiber yarn is for you. Scroll below to read about how banana fiber is made.

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. It's knits up on the bulkier side (heavy worsted) but it shines like lipgloss.

Each skein of yarn is spun into balls for you for free! The balls are 250g each (8.8 oz). You'll get about 163 yards per ball! You'll get about 3-3.5 sts an inch on size US 8 needles.

Note: Due to the nature of handspun yarns there may be tied knots or breaks in the skein.

She blinded me with science!
Banana Silk yarn is made from the fiber of the banana tree. The fiber is refined, processed and wound onto skeins in Nepal by women in co-ops. This beautiful yarn comes from a renewable, sustainable and environmentally-friendly source. It is very soft and comes in brilliant 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.
