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. Get weaving, knitting, and crocheting, and enjoy working with a chunky, mixed rainbow of sustainable yarn.

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, buying this yarn helps provide safe working conditions and livable wages for the makers while supporting ethical, sustainable practices.

• Dusty Rose - (it's really more like "tangerine")
• Mixed Rainbow - base color with all the colors in the rainbow
• Multicolor - brighter base color than Mixed Rainbow, then many different colors as accents
• Neon Yellow - like a traffic sign
• Sunflower - warm and yellow, just like the flower, with a touch of orange
