Banana Yarn BNN013 50g hank

Silky banana yarn from Nepal.

Coming from a renewable and sustainable source, this beautiful yarn is made from sun-dried fibres of the banana plant’s trunk.

Hand dyed.

Skein: 50g  This is single ply yarn and is equivalent to approximately 4ply, which knits up very nicely and goes a long way. The skeins are between 126-190 metres each.

Info for weavers: This yarn can be warped on a hand loom if the length is not too long.

100% banana fibre

Hand wash when made up and best dried flat. Your item may stretch very slightly in the length (eg a jumper) after washing, owing to the nature of the yarn but nothing to worry about.
