A mixture of cotton and banana fibre

The use of the fibres of edible bananas is a development of the of Rajamangkala University. The results are banana silk, a mixture of cotton and banana fibre. This project was intended to provide farmers with an additional source of income. In the weaving mill, beautiful silk-like fabrics are woven from harvested banana plants that would normally have ended up on the compost heap. Fabric width As the fabrics are handmade, an exact width of 1 m cannot always be guaranteed. It is depending on the weaver's weaving style, the width can vary between 90 and 100 cm.
