Really cool yarn

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.
