Banana fiber is super soft yet durable. A great renewable resource. Did you know: 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. Need a gift for the Vegan crafter in your life? Darn Good Yarns Banana Fiber Yarn is a great choice!!! And lets face it... It's just plain cool to tell your friends:”I'm working with Banana Fiber!”

Each 100gram ball gives you a full 80 yards of banana fiber to play with! The gauge on our yummy banana fiber yarns is 3-3.5 stitches to the inch on size US 8 (5.0mm) needles, or you could use a size US 8-H (5.0mm) crochet hook!

Yes! Isn't it great? They come in balls! You can get creating as soon as the banana fiber yarn arrives at your front door! The Yarn is hand crafted in fair trade womans co-ops in rural Nepal and India. There will be inconsistencies every now and then in the yarn like thick and thin spots or knots, but it is what gives this fiber it's charm and is proof that is was made bu a human hand, not a machine!

There are no dye lots, but I would recommend that you buy all the banana fiber yarn necessary to complete your project at one time.
Please always dry clean or hand wash your wonderful banana fiber creations. You can lay them flat to dry or toss them in the dryer, but make sure it is on a delicate cycle!

How cool would it be to show up in banana fiber leg warmers to your next yoga class? Or pack your sketch pad and pencils in a banana fiber messenger bag with a little snack and head off to do some nature drafting?
