These banana silk mini skeins are softly lustrous and dyed slowly in small batches using yellow onion skins. This humble kitchen plant produces some of the most reliable and beautiful golden and yellow tones in botanical dyeing.
Small-batch dyeing allows the fiber to absorb the plant color in its own way, creating natural variation from skein to skein. These minis are well suited for small weaving projects or as pops of color in larger works, each reflecting the quiet beauty of plant color on plant fiber.
