The plant has to be cut back after the fruit harvest so that it regrows for the next season, and trading this waste product provides an extra income to the farmers. Our crochet banana yarn products have a rustic finish that adds character to each piece, connecting the wearer to the artisan who crocheted the product by hand; please be aware that these products may not suit those seeking a factory finish. Banana yarn is suitable for vegans and is an ideal alternative for those who suffer wool allergies. We only use azo-free dyes for our banana fibre. Read our blog post about how we use banana fibre . Growing profusely in the middle hills of Nepal at altitudes of 3900 feet to 10000 feet, allo fibre from the Giant Himalayan Nettle (Girardiniadiversifolia) has been used for centuries for clothing and around the home and farm. An amazing natural fibre, it is lightweight and cool in the summer but also warm in the winter. Allo is highly durable and becomes increasingly soft and pliable with wash and use. Our sustainable allo products are produced completely by hand. The material is renewable and biodegradable so is a sustainable choice.
