Rockin’ colors reminiscent of a kaleidoscope, the most endearing of childhood toys, are balanced by a glossy, rich finish that renders this yarn utterly sophisticated!

Banana fiber is super soft yet durable, and a great renewable resource. This vegan yarn is made from decaying outer layers of the banana tree bark are harvested, then soaked in water to quicken the natural dissolving of the chlorophyll structures, leaving just the cellulose fibers. These are extruded into pulp and then when it’s spun, it is as soft as silk - soft and strong, full of texture, color, and bio-degradable so it’s completely vegan and eco-friendly!

How does the yarn get so soft? After harvesting the fibers from the trunk of the banana tree, they are put through a softening process that makes the fiber very similar to silk. Then when it’s spun, it is as soft as silk - soft and strong, full of texture, color, and bio-degradable so it’s completely vegan and eco-friendly!
