MADAME RAPHIA

Raffia is a vegetable fiber derived from the leaves of a palm tree that grows mainly in Madagascar.

In its natural state, its color is a luminous beige. It dyes very well, and the colored skeins offered here are hand-dyed using vegetable dyes only.

Raffia can also be used for sewn spiral basketry.  There are numerous techniques for making small objects: baskets, pocket trays, jewelry, decorations...

It can also be crocheted.
