Raffia : Local Hand-Dyed
$13.00
Loved by basket-makers, weavers, florists, gardeners, designers and crafters - natural raffia has a multitude of uses.
Fibre made from the dried and shredded leaves of the palmyra palm tree, this superior quality raffia is harvested from renewable sources in Madagascar and locally dyed by hand.
An earthy selection of colours, small batch, hand-dyed locally using non-toxic Australian-made dyes alongside foraged plants and natural plant extracts.
This is superior quality raffia, approx 50gram hanks, fibre length approx 80-120cm. A great all rounder, with a mix of thicker and thinner strands, will suit most basket weavers and fibre artists. The small-scale nature of dyeing-by-hand results in a more rustic offering with variegated colour range.
Bundles sold individually, choose from an evolving range of colours, each with specified weights - from 50 - 75 grams.
