Have you ever experienced banana silk yarn? Yes, it really is made from the fibers of the banana tree. I've just completed a scarf from this beautifully textured yarn, and I'm very happy with it! This yarn was hand-dyed and hand-spun by a women's cooperative in Nepal. As a result, it has wonderful variations in color and texture and the occasional knot which only adds to the charm of this gorgeous golden yarn. It has a beautiful silky sheen, and is softer than you'd think it would be. It is heavier in weight than most yarns, giving it a very nice drape.
This scarf is one-of-a-kind, and available now in my Renegade Stiches Etsy Shop. It is approx. 56 inches long, about 10 or so inches wide (it is narrower in the middle and flares out slightly on the ends). It is not only a wonderful accessory, it's also a great conversation piece ("that's made of BANANA FIBER?!?! Really!?!") Perfect gift for yourself or a loved one!
