In short, raffia is the dried palm leaves of Raphia farinifera, a natural fiber that is most often used to create accessories, such as bags and hats, shoes, and interior items. It should be borne in mind that natural raffia, that is, dried leaves, is suitable for weaving, but there is also the so-called raffia yarn, which is suitable for crocheting. The composition of such yarn can vary greatly, ranging from natural wooden fiber to polypropylene, so if you decide to buy such a yarn, be sure to study the composition.
