Sari Silk, not Banana

Following emails between Carole of Spinknits at the V & A Waterfront in Cape Town, and myself, it appears that the yarns I thought were from banana fibres are in fact recycled sari silk. Offcuts from making saris are pulled apart to retrieve the individual silk fibres which are then respun by the women of Nepal. The resultant yarns are very colourful and much thicker than the original silk yarns. As shown in my earlier blogs they result in interesting scarves.
