Why we love it!

Didn't Mom always tell you fruit is good for you? Boy, was she ever right! This banana fiber yarn is like potassium for your creativity! Rockin' colors reminiscent of a kaleidoscope, the most endearing of childhood toys, are balanced by a glossy, rich finish that renders this yarn utterly sophisticated!

Features:

Banana fiber is super soft yet durable, and a great renewable resource. This vegan yarn is made from decaying outer layers of the banana tree bark are harvested, then soaked in water to quicken the natural dissolving of the chlorophyll structures, leaving just the cellulose fibers. These are extruded into a pulp and spun into yarn.

Banana 🍌 fibre yarn

I had to try banana fibre yarn just for fun and curiosity. Love the mix of colors... Lots of colors mixed to make a nearly neutral tone. It feels natural, almost like a blend of silk and cotton. I'm using it to make scrubbies for face washing and it works really well! Great fun!

Banana fiber

I love the colors of this yarn. As mentioned previously it is pretty unevenly spun. I think that’s due to the unruly fibers? I purchased 10-12 skeins and made a vest.

I was pretty frustrated working with this material, but eventually it got made. And it is lovely!

But boy is it heavy! It would almost qualify for weighted blanket status. I’m not sure I will ever actually wear it anywhere. That’s how heavy it is. But a fun experience!

Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your Kaleidoscope Banana Fiber Yarn :) This yarn is handspun, so each skein may be a little different with how thick/thin the strands are. If you share pictures of your creation on social, we'd love to see pictures! Be sure to tag us :)

Photos don’t do it justice

Wow, I was blown away by how beautiful this yarn is, the photos don’t even do it justice. Definitely my favorite yarn I’ve ever purchased or come across as it’s just so unique! I would probably only recommend this yarn to intermediate knitters though, definitely not beginners as it can be a bit tricky to work with due to the texture. But if you have some experience, it should work up rather easily, as it did for myself!

Weaving on a small loom

Absolutely a joy to work with. This birthday present inspired me. Used it for warp and weft and weaving now. Soon to be a small purse. Love this yarn and the amazing colors.
