Perfect for a range of craft projects, Jack Raffia is a strong tie with a rustic look. Very popular for pots and gift boxes, for decorations of wreaths and other craftwork..Did you know?Raffia is made from the segments of the leaves on the Palmyra palm. The leaves on the raffia palm are typically 10 metres long or more and the segments are dried and shredded ?leafy bits? becoming the raffia fibre we use.
