Handspun & Hand Dyed in NepalBanana Fibre is imported directly from Nepal by Knitting4fun. Until cotton was readily available, banana trees were widely used for making fabrics. Now “jusi” banana fabric is made in only a handful of places in Southeast Asia. Banana tree stalks and leaves are removed for processing into a pliable fiber. The result is renewable, sustainable yarn. Our yarn comes from remnants from the clothing industry and is handspun by women in Nepal. The yarn is available kettle dyed or handpainted. Note: Due to the nature of handspun yarns there may be tied knots or breaks in the skein.
