Banyan – Luxuriously Soft, Durable Pima Cotton for Every Project
Banyan is a beautifully crafted worsted-weight yarn made from 100% Pima Cotton. With its unique 24-ply structure, this yarn offers incredible softness, strength, and a smooth, even texture that is perfect for both knitting and crocheting. Whether you’re working on a cozy sweater, a set of versatile accessories, or lightweight home decor, Banyan provides the perfect balance of durability and comfort.
When it comes to dyeing, cotton fibers (a cellulose fiber) behave differently than animal fibers like wool. Cotton requires a more specialized dyeing process, typically using reactive or acid dyes, to achieve vibrant, lasting colors. The natural texture of Banyan allows it to absorb dye beautifully, making it perfect for creating custom hues that pop in your next project.
