You’ve seen them before! The pretty summer hats and beach bags instantly get you in a sunny, sandy, vacation mood. The incredible accessories made from raffia make their way back to the city and beach every summer (even though we firmly believe that a beautiful raffia bag can be worn all year!).
You can do all this with our Rafaella!
Rafaella is made from 100% raffia paper (raffia is originally made from palms), is durable, and recyclable. We do not recommend that the yarn comes in contact with wet or moist objects, e.g. a wet towel. Colors may transfer.
Small tip: Rafaela can also be used as a ribbon when you wrap presents. A more sustainable and prettier alternative to the classic plastic ribbons.

It's quite quite hard to work with, however, all paid off when I saw the outcome of my project. It's wonderful to hear the compliments from my friends and family. They are now all wanting to get one of the summer hats, hence, a new batch of Rafaella plus Paulina ordered! So excited!

My favourite Hobbii yarn. It's useful for so many projects like hats, bags, and mats, and it is super eco-friendly, too.

I bought Raffaella to crochet a hat, having seen one for sale at a ridiculous price.
It is harder work than I would have hoped, and I have had to go up to a size 4.5 crochet hook (and might also need a cushioned handle)
But the effect (?so far) is marvellous. I shall be looking out for another great deal on it!

The yarn is hard, little elastic and difficult to knit. My hands even started to hurt a little. But the colors are really bright. I really like my beach bag. My girlfriends are also thrilled. I bought more of this yarn at an excellent price and will now knit beach bags for my friends.

I managed to crochet a bag. The result is great, but I had to put a lot of patience and effort because Raffia is hard and inflexible and sometimes it would tear.
