This listing is for two an a half plus skeins of Christmas red banana silk yarn.  The large hank weighs 185 grams, the two balls weigh 60 grams and 20 grams for a total of 265 grams/238 yards.  Because this yarn is sold by weight not length I can only give you an approx. on the length.  I did weigh 10 grams that measured 9 yards so that’s the calculation I’m using.  I bought this yarn several years ago and there are no labels.  I  think I remember that it came Nepal spun by women in small villages.  This is my lot #560.

 

From what I’ve read this yarn is made from the shoots and trunk of the banana plant.  It is best to hand wash and dry flat.  It is a heavy worsted weight/bulky and does well in hats, scarves, bags and textile fabric arts. 

 

Due to the nature of hand spun yarns there may be knots or color breaks in the skeins.  This is not a factory perfect type of yarn.  Each hank/skein is unique and can not guarantee that any two will be the same.

 

I have lots of yarn to sell so check back to see if you see something you just can’t live without!

 

If you have questions please ask before you bid or buy as all sales are final.  I will combine shipping on items shipped at the same time to the same address.  Let me know before you pay so I can combine the fees for you.  Payment is due within 3 days of purchase.  Items will ship within 3 business days of payment.

 

I ship everything either priority or USPS Ground Advantage (previously first class mail) so that items can be tracked.  I don’t charge a handling fee, I only use the total weight and distance of the package that the USPS charges.
