Banana yarn! Yes, this is yarn made from banana plant stem fibres, made by a collective of Fair Trade Indian artisans utilising the plant byproduct. I've been looking for a silky yarn that is a little kinder than commercial silk (horrified to learn that the larvae are boiled or steamed alive during the silk-making). This banana yarn has a lovely lustre and is ideal for incorporating into wet-felting. Thank you to .yarn for a wonderful product and lovely customer service π
