Solid colors in a glossy finish and a new blend called kaleidoscope gives you quite the choice of wonderful colors to play with in your banana fiber yarn adventures. These balls of yarn are like looking at pieces of candy. It's a hand spun yarn from women's co-ops in Nepal and India.
Oh-so-soft handspun banana fiber yarn; durable, soft and very unique.
The yarn: 100g balls (not skeins!), 85 yards, handspun (yes sometimes there are breaks in the yarn which are tied back together) Dry clean, or delicate cold cycle, lay flat to dry or give a short toss in the dryer.
Go ahead! Make that cool slouchy sweater you were thinking of or those legwarmers which would be perfect for going to yoga class in.
Make some unique luxury for yourself or as a gift. Banana fiber is durable and the color combination will make that project uniquely yours!
Science lesson! 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.
