Hand-dyed Banana Fiber Yarn

Are you an adventurous crafter seeking something extraordinary? Discover the unique charm of Banana Fiber Yarn! Made from the sustainable fibers of banana tree bark and handspun by women’s co-ops in India, this vibrant yarn offers a soft, plant-based alternative that’s perfect for a variety of crafting projects.

Banana Fiber Yarn adds a splash of vibrancy to your knitting, crocheting, and anything you decide to do with it. 

Soft and Strong: After harvesting, the banana fibers undergo a special softening process, making them remarkably similar to silk. The result is a yarn that’s soft to the touch yet strong and durable.

Produced by artisans in India and Nepal, the purchase of this yarn helps provide safe working conditions and livable wages for the makers while also supporting ethical and sustainable practices.
