Specialist Crafts Synthetic Raffia is a soft, pliable and strong material for weaving, basketry, decoration and a wide range of textile and craft projects. Unlike loose raffia strands, each length is tightly wound onto a reel, helping prevent tangles and making it much easier to dispense, manage and store in a busy classroom.

Its flexibility makes it easy to manipulate through woven structures, while its strength allows students to build up more substantial decorative and three-dimensional pieces. Use it for weaving, basket making, wrapping, tying, embellishment and experimental textile work.

The assortment of bright colours provides plenty of scope for exploring pattern, colour combinations and woven designs.
