It's sooo soft

It's sooo soft. It has a very silky texture.

Hi Valerea! We're thrilled to hear you love the soft, silky texture of our Banana Fiber Yarn 🌿✨. Thanks so much for your wonderful review! -DGY Team

Soft and bright

Very brilliant color, somewhat lighter than expected. The yarn is soft with some texture and overcoils, but overall quite uniform in thickness (much better than Lux Adventure recycled silk!)

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our Banana Fiber Yarn - the color and softness are definitely some of our favorite features too! We're glad to hear that the yarn's texture and thickness are also up to your standards. Thanks for choosing our plant-powered yarn for your projects! Happy crafting!

Love it

Love it

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.

Fabulous Fiber

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

Great

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.

Lovely:u1F970:

You should name it 'Surf's Up". It reminds me of the ocean

Beautiful colors

Love the look of this!

I fell in love with the look of this on the website, and loved it even more when I saw it in person. I do find it a little difficult to work with due to the fringe, though I suspect that is because i am a novice with my crochet skills.

Hi Joni! We really appreciate you supporting us and our artisans! I hope you have an awesome day :heart: You rock!- Lynette

Attention getter!

I have long, thin hair that I often wear in a ponytail. I crocheted a wide band with the fringe yarn and then wound it around the ponytail, piling it then into a beautiful , thick, messy bun. People are walking up to me with compliments asking how I did it. Im dreaming up more creative ways to use it now. Love it!

Hi Louise! That's great! I'm so happy to know :)- Lynette

Lovely yarn, striking colors.

Lovely yarn, striking colors.

Awesome! Thank you:blush:-Claudia

Unique and versitile

I just love the natural appeal of banana fiber! Thank you DGY for the quality of this vegan yarn and the colorful texture that lends itself to many applications.

Thank you so much for all the positive feedback! -Claudia

A very special yarn!

I love woking with this lusciously soft yarn. It has a beautiful hand and comes in beautiful colorations! Ive used it before and I shall definitely use it again.

Great!Thank you for sharing your feedback:heart_decoration:-Claudia

Really cool projects

Really good nice and soft unlike any other yarn I have tried. The colors of these yarns are so vivid. Banana yarn fiber is excellent for completing any art project, or knitting and crochet. Im into mixed media and jewelry, I it will make my project stands out now that I plan to add other colors and decorations to it. I highly recommend this yarn

I was totally suprised to

I was totally suprised to find this yarn to be awesome. I didn't know you could make yarn from Bananas. I can't wait to figure out a project to make from this yarn.

We're so happy to hear you're happy with your yarn! We agree, it's amazing what materials can be used to make quality yarn!

One of my favorite yarns but two colors are a little too similar

I love the banana fiber yarn! It's got such a soft yet interesting texture, and the different colors are so beautiful! I do think that the Coral and Rich Magenta colorways are a little too close to each other to be able to tell the difference well, even side-by-side, so I say just interchange them as you wish--but that's just me. My only gripe is that the Kaleidoscope colorway is a different weight, which makes incorporating it into a piece with other banana fiber colorways very frustrating at best. I do hope for a restock soon!

Love it!

Much like my other favorite yarns from DGY, the banana fiber yarns have such an interesting texture and look, which makes your projects so fun, unique and eye catching. This is another one I always try and buy more of when theres a sale.

Fantastic! Thank you for your 5-star review!!

Banana fibre yarn

A little rough looking but exactly what I am looking for to make a scarf. This will make a beautiful scarf for a Christmas gift!

We hope whoever you gift it to will love your scarf!!! :)

It's Different

I got this yarn because I enjoy trying something new. The color is very beautiful and I like the mottled effect. My problem is that I am making a top with it and I think it will be scratchy against my skin. Also, the thickness varies greatly and it is too fuzzy to show the texture of the stitch.

Could you please email us at info@darngoodyarn.com with pictures of your dyelots and we'll see what we can do to help you out! :)

the finest yarn

the finest yarn

I got this yarn because

I got this yarn because it seemed a bit different. And boy is it. The color is very vibrant which I like a lot, but thats nearly the only good thing to say. It feels a bit weird, definitely stocks to itself as you try to manipulate it in any way. And the size of the yarn is incredibly inconsistent. With only 30 yards of it, I have no clue what Ill do with it besides leave it on the shelf for a long while. At least its nice to look at.

Beautiful, very durable with unique

After reading the description, I expected something a bit rough, but this yarn is actually very soft.

Made a purse with it and it looks very pretty.
