Description

This is the 2nd TdF16 podcasts, there will be one more. I talk about washing alpaca fiber, dyeing shetland and lamb's wool fiber, and as my challenge day project, spinning banana fiber. All of the links below are information I found on the internet about banana fiber. Home processing (something so unavailable to most of us!) is shown in a youtube video by Rix Jennings. Commercial processing (and very poor audio, sorry) is shown here. A non verbal commercial processing video. It is long, but if you only have time for one video, I recommend it be this one. A video of felted banana cloth being made. I only found one blog that talked about banana fiber, it is Fiber of my Being. There's part 1 and part 2. Here's on crochet project I found for the yarn (lots of pop ups and ads, sorry). Finally, Darn Good Yarn, shows banana yarn available on their website.

Join me as each time I either prep fiber for spinning, or sit at my spinning wheel. There is also music and stories while we spin our fiber into yarn.
