Meet Banana Yarn Fine, a 100% banana fibre yarn spun by artisans in India, offering an exquisite mix of rustic slub, silky sheen and eco-conscious storytelling. Handcrafted by a member of the Fair Trade Forum India, this yarn is as beautiful in purpose as it is in finish.
If you’ve been searching where to buy banana yarn in Australia or want to explore plant-based fibres beyond the basics, this art yarn is a true hidden gem.
A Yarn with a Story
Banana Yarn Fine is spun from the stalks of banana plants, an agricultural byproduct that’s been transformed into a lustrous, drapey fibre through an intensive handcrafting process. The result? A slubby, soft yarn with natural variation, each skein full of personality and purpose.
This yarn is made in India under fair trade conditions, supporting sustainable livelihoods and celebrating fibre traditions with a modern twist. It's not your average knit or crochet yarn. Banana Yarn Fine invites experimentation, creativity and a whole lot of texture.
Whether you're weaving, knitting, crocheting or embellishing, this yarn adds an earthy elegance and a gentle shimmer to your work.
