Recently I visited the Maltings in Farnham for the Thread Craft Fair, which I thoroughly enjoyed. While there I came across the Old Haberdashery Shop stall containing loads of really interesting haberdashery items. In particular I found some banana yarn which I hadn’t seen before. It is has a beautiful texture and sheen. Since purchasing it I have found that it is sometimes used as a vegan alternative to silk yarn. Below are the images of the banana yarn I bought. I love the slubbyness of the yarn. particularly the finer yarn.
