During the whole of February I was on holiday in Africa. I travelled overland from Livingstone (Zambia) to Cape Town via Botswana and Namibia on a G Adventure tour - fantastic.Whilst in Cape Town I purchased two yarns of recycled banana fibres.
I have now woven the first one using a pink silk yarn as the warp and the banana fibre as the weft. The scarf is 1770mm x 210mm and weighs 207g. Obviously not as soft as my usual cashmere and alpaca, but nevertheless, an interesting colourful scarf.
I intend taking it to the Donnybrook Apple Festival over Easter if not sold beforehand.
