This multicoloured banana fibre is made from the outer sheath of the leaves that grow around the trunk of a banana tree. The sheaths are cut into strips, soaked, then the fibre is extracted and pulp is removed. The fibre is is then dried in the sun and processed.

The fibre is spun by women in rural communities in India and Nepal, which is sold to wholesalers to provide income for small communities.

It really has the most amazing ethical yarn that is truly eco-friendly and ‘feel good’. 

This is a silky, soft yarn great for scarves, hats, simple clothing (with no shaping)
