Raffia and paper yarn
Natural raffia, paper raffia and manufactured raffia-style strands are different materials. Read the exact composition.
Match the fabric to the project
For a basket or hat, test the fold, join and surface before making a large piece. A flat ribbon may split if pierced with the tool; enter the stitch opening cleanly.
Finish a sample first
Do not soak a paper-based strand without its care instructions. Keep the label with the item and test moisture handling on a spare strip.
