Banana Silk fiber yarn is made from the fiber of the banana tree. The fiber is refined, processed and skeined in Nepal by women.This beautiful yarn comes from a renewable, sustainable and environmentally-friendly source. It is very soft and has brilliant colors.
Only the decaying outer layers of the trees (aged bark) are harvested and soaked under water to quicken the natural process. When all of the chlorophyll structures are dissolved, the cellulose fibers remain. They are extruded into pulp and to make it suitable for spinning into yarn.
