Love it
I had to get some of the banana fiber yarn just to try it out. It’s very similar in weight and texture to recycled sari silk (from threads) but softer and slippery. It feels like it’ll stand up to heavy use so I’m thinking of using it with the sari ribbon yarn to knit or weave some tough and colorful containers and pillows.
I’m sorry fabulous fiber that’s beautiful, bright and soft.
Lovely! Surprisingly soft. Can't wait to use it as a decorative trim on my next project
The yarn is soo pretty and feels good. I havent gotten to knitting with it yet but it looks sturdy. Its definitely fun and vibrant. I cant wait to start my new project.
