Natural raffia is back in stock and ready to order. Each 1kg hank is ideal for basket weaving, wrapped handles and decorative stitching.
Our natural raffia is sustainably grown and harvested in Madagascar — long, strong strands that are a pleasure to work with, whether you're building the core of a basket or stitching the finishing rows.
Each 1kg hank contains a mix of long strands (approximately 1.2–1.5 metres) with some finer strands throughout — ideal for coiled basket weaving, wrapped handles, and decorative stitching. It pairs beautifully with our hand-dyed raffia for colour accents and stripe details.
How much do you need? A small coiled basket (approx. 20cm) typically uses 200–300g. A medium basket or tray uses 400–600g. For larger projects or workshops, we recommend grabbing 2 hanks.
As a natural fibre, colour, texture, and strand width will vary slightly between hanks — this is part of the beauty of working with an honest, natural material.
