Natural Cotton Raffia Yarn for Buckwheat Summer Sun Hat, Beach Bag, Rayon Crochet, Straw Knitting Materials - 280 Meters/306 Yards

A challenge to work sometimes when doing tight stitches, especially because my skin has issues in winter, but I must love pain because I plan to do several more projects with this stuff. It seems very useful, and it's the perfect material for coasters and placemats and market bags.A lot of people talk about the yarn being stiff, and it is if you don't wet-block it. Heck, even for a bag or something, I would spray it generously with a fine mist and let it dry. The yarn becomes floppy and more cloth-like while still retaining it's shape and firmness (if that makes sense ... my coasters went from hard, curled up flowers to floppy coasters that I can roll up into a tube without room for even a pencil to squeeze in).

I’m beyond happy to have found this yarn. I love the look of raffia. This is not easy to work with but wellWorth the effort. If you are an experienced crochet crafter, you will love it!!!

As expected

I love this! I made myself a sun hat and it came out great, so comfortable too.

This is not Raffia suited for Hats! It is very thin and stiff cord! I have worked with Raffia numerous times and could tell that the pictures of the Items they show are not made with the yarn that is advertised. I am sure there is some use for that, but it's not for purses or Hats. Sending it back.

Muy manejable, me gustó para tejer mis bolsas🌹

Good quality

This raffia is amazing for crochet projects. There is a shallow learning curve for crocheting with this particular kind of raffia but once I figured it out it was a pleasure to work with. So far I have made this hat and bag. I love how they turned out and am looking forward to working on more projects in more colors with this raffia.
