🌿 Liquid Gold from the Banana Grove — Meet Our  Handspun Yarn

Imagine holding a skein of yarn that carries the warmth of Indian sunshine and the legacy of artisan hands. Our Banana Viscose Sari Silk Handspun Yarn  is exactly that — a luxurious, chunky, tactile treasure spun from upcycled sari silk blended with silky banana viscose fibre, handcrafted by skilled artisans in India. Run it through your fingers and feel the gentle slub, the soft sheen, the earthy warmth of a fibre that tells a story.

Each 100g skein holds 40 yards of bold, bulky yarn — enough to create a statement cowl, a boho wall hanging, or a chunky woven basket in an afternoon. The deep mustard yellow hue is rich, grounding, and endlessly versatile — a colour that works across seasons and styles.

🍌 What is Banana Viscose Sari Silk?

• 🌱 Banana Viscose is derived from the fibrous stems of banana plants — a sustainable byproduct of banana cultivation that would otherwise go to waste
• ✨ Sari Silk is upcycled from the offcuts and remnants of India's vibrant sari weaving industry, giving new life to precious silk fibres
• 🤲 Handspun by artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations in India
• 💛 The blend creates a yarn with the softness of silk, the earthiness of natural plant fibre, and a beautiful irregular texture unique to handmade production

🌍 Sustainability Story

At KnitSilk, we believe beautiful yarn should leave the world better than it found it. Our Banana Viscose Sari Silk yarn is born from two upcycled streams — banana plant stems rescued from agricultural waste, and sari silk offcuts saved from landfill. Every skein supports fair-wage artisan employment in India and reduces textile waste. When you knit with KnitSilk, you're not just making something beautiful — you're part of a circular, conscious craft movement.

🔄 How Banana Viscose Compares

vs. Merino Wool: Banana viscose is 100% vegan and plant-based, making it ideal for those who avoid animal fibres, while offering a similar softness and drape.

vs. Cotton: Banana viscose has a silkier sheen and more luxurious hand feel than standard cotton, with better drape for statement projects.

vs. Acrylic: Fully biodegradable and natural — no microplastics, no synthetic fibres, just pure plant and silk goodness.

vs. Pure Silk: More affordable and rustic in texture, with the added sustainability story of upcycled sari silk and banana plant fibre.
