Folksy :: Buy "Banana Baby slippers"

Shared by jojasca in the Fabric Crafts

Product Description:

This special pair of baby slippers are made from banana yarn, hand spun from the fibres contained in the bark of the banana tree.

Often described as vegan silk, banana yarn has a gorgeous silky sheen and feels satisfyingly 'heavy' to touch. It comes from a renewable, sustainable and environmentally friendly source, and this delicious white colour is its natural undyed state.

These slippers measure approximately 10.5cm in length, with a strong double layer sole. The outer sole is made from cotton and the inner from 100% wool.

A chocolate brown ribbon ties at the ankle to ensure they don't fall off.

I think these unusual slippers would be perfect for a special occasion such as a Christening or maybe for a little flower girl at a wedding.

I usually finish the soles of my slippers with a non-slip coating, however this does tend to make them slightly yellowish. I have not done this to these slippers because of this, however I will happily add it if you wish at no extra cost.
