About Us
Sumptuous chunky yarn. Banana silk is similar to some of the recycled silk products you might have seen. Made from banana leaves, banana silk is somewhat thicker than recycled silks, but with similar twist and variation in thickness. It has a softer hand and drape. The colors are brilliant and clear.
 
Can be used in a weaving warp sett at 5-8epi, but for best results, use in the weft instead. Terrific with Tencel, Perle Cotton, or Bamboo wefts. Crochet with a J hook for a very tight cloth, or an S hook for a loose, casual scarf.
