    Hello there Barbara,
    I can supply you with yarn from banana. There are two types. One is hard and stiff and maybe good for ropes etc. The other is machine drawn not very think but carded before drawing. For the machine made one the rawmeterial comes from India and they call it banana silk. Let me know what you think. Take care,
