Why would we make something with raffia paper? I considered it for a good while because it has an odor that I may be allergic to. We'll see. I crochet and have for 50 years. So, I've started to make something with this raffia paper yarn. I like the new medium (at least new to me). It's inspiring, but it is hard to work with. The paper isn't terribly forgiving. The arthritis in my hands may prevent this. So, it may have other uses. Gift wrapping? Perfect.

My wife and I love to wrap and give gifts and we've done this for years. It's remarkable how much a well-thought-out and artfully presented gift can lift someone's spirits. We're known for doing this, because we've seen how much a simple gift, wrapped to look nice, can boost a friend's day or even their week.So, yes, we've got a number of rolls of this kind of wrapping "ribbon" (we think of it as "ribbon") already in our wrapping cupboard but we did not have this color. We can confirm this is a nice quality product and we're happy to have it.In writing this review, we're hoping a few readers of this page just might be prompted to think: You know what? I'm going to gift to (someone) who's having a hard week. And I just might tie it up with ribbon to show that I really care.

It’s so great seeing raffia ribbon use on the uptick! Love this stuff. I ordered it in the vivid turquoise-blue and it’s gorgeous. Not only can you use this to make and interesting and organic looking ribbon/bow on a gift, but I remember using these for craft projects like small wreath making and card making awhile back. This is generous role that is sure to please and get used up while making or wrapping something special!

This feels and acts like raffia yarn, but the product listing is a bit questionable, since it reads awkwardly. The product smells really bad (a strong chemical smell), which is not what I've experienced with other raffia yarns. I haven't worked with it at length because I don't really want to have this smell on my hands, and I'm going to try airing it out for a while first.

I’ve only ever used raffia to wrap packages or tie up flower bundles. On a whim, I got out the flower loom that I used, back in the day, to make swiss straw flowers and thought I would see if I still remembered how to do it. The swiss straw that was available back in the 70s is now apparently only sold in small amounts for fly tying and comes in colors that appeal to fish, not to me. When I saw this brand of paper raffia and the nice color selection available, I thought I would see how it worked on the loom. I really like it. It is soft, strong, and easy to handle. I found the width uniform with no breaks or weak spots. The paper raffia is thicker and a little less pliable than its plastic cousin, but it works great with a few minor adjustments in technique. I was able to make tight loops and use the same strand to stitch them in place without it fraying, breaking, or showing wear. I think it is safe to say that this material would hold up well for a number of craft projects such as crochet or weaving as well as for wrapping packages and tying bundles.
