We have a small 10g roll of BANANA CLOTH available!
The yarn is a blend of cotton and fiber extracted from banana stems.
It has a refreshing feel and is smooth and dry.
It has a dry feel and good absorbency , so it is also recommended for knit towels.
This yarn is made by blending cotton with fiber harvested from the huge amount of banana stalks that would otherwise be discarded in banana fields, which produce 1 billion tons a year. Bananas are attracting attention as the third fiber after cotton and hemp. They can also create new jobs for farmers. I hope this will give you some ideas.

This is a hybrid dyeing method that combines natural dyes with beautiful colors extracted from the flowers, leaves, bark, and fruits of plants with environmentally friendly dyes.
Rather than dyeing the yarn all at once, the dyeing process involves three steps to allow the plant dye to settle at the end. This is a very time-consuming and careful dyeing process that prevents the plant dye from fading.
The simple, rich colors make you feel the power of nature up close.
