Banana Silk Yarn:  This fabulous handspun yarn is soft, shiny and available in 20 color choices.  Knitting up like a bulky yarn; it's great for hats, shawls, scarves, and bags.
It has a slightly fuzzy texture and a shine like lip gloss.

How is it made?  Banana stalks and leaves have long been used for fabrics.  Modern methods for processing banana fibers yield what is technically a rayon fiber.  Our yarn comes from remnants from the clothing industry and is handspun by women in Nepal and India.  The yarn is available kettle dyed or handpainted.

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

Banana Silk Yarns are a great accompaniment for Recycled Silk yarns.

Substitute Banana Silk for Sari Silk for these patterns.
