5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS RAFFIA!
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2022
I’ve been on the hunt for a good raffia for summer hats. I’m an advanced crocheter, but I’ve had a hard time with the flat raffia. I tried a TON. This one is twisted to more resemble regular yarn, and instead of worrying what the flat part is doing, i can just count my stitches and get moving. The stitches are nice and regular, if you prefer that kind of thing (and I do). I LOVE IT!

Raffia is a little harder on the fingers than regular yarn, so I’m using a bandaid on one of my fingers for now, but have a silicon thimble on the way.

The cord is about 2mm thick. It is really soft and flexible. So far I can tell this is going to be a hat i just throw in my suitcase and not worry about crushing. I’m still on the crown, but my guess is if i do my increases properly, the brim will not flop around. It’s soft but has some body. I’m a traditionalist, so chose the natural color, but there is a wide variety of colors for any taste. I rated five stars for durability because I had a few stops and starts where I had to rip out a bunch of stitches, but when worked again they had no weakness and you can’t tell where they were (hard to do with the flat/tape like raffia).

I’m doing this one as a wild brim, but am already thinking ahead of the visor I’m going to make for when my hair is in a bun on top of my head.

I stopped in the middle of my project to write this review because I had almost given up on raffia altogether. Then I found this. I don’t think you will be disappointed. Happy hatting!

(The picture above shows my crown in progress. I’m using a 3.5mm hook, which seems to be a good size. Not too big for the material, but big enough to work up quickly.)

No dislike. The yarn was perfect to use for my project and pleased with the color. I made a sun hat from it. I would order the yarn again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rough
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2023
I bought this to use for crocheting a hat for my son. As I expected, it was quite stiff to work with. Overall, it worked pretty well for crocheting a hat, however, it was quite rough on my hands. I eventually turned to wearing a cotton glove on my left hand to protect it from developing blisters and abrasions as I worked the crochet hook with my right hand. That helped but, was a little bit awkward. Fortunately, one would not expect this type of yarn to produce something pristine so, the variations caused by having the glove slip around did not really impact the overall appearance of the hat I was making. There is definitely variation in thickness of the yarn as one works through the spool. Again, sort of expected for this type of fiber. The description says that two spools will be necessary for making a hat. The hat I made was very simple in design. It was inspired by the simple, gently cone shaped hats traditionally worn by people working in the fields in places like Viet Nam. The hat I made has a 14" diameter at its base. One spool would have been plenty for making this style of hat. I bought both a purple and a green spool. The dye from the green spool wore off onto the white, cotton glove that I wore. The purple did not appear to have this issue.

It's rough on your hands when you use it alone but I'm doubling it up with a soft yarn so it helps. I bought some to do a hat and ended up getting more for another project. Holds up well but smaller than I'd like. It's good for the hats I crocheted.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very stiff
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024
The color is pretty, but it's very stiff and hard to crochet with. I wouldn't recommend it for crocheting.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the perfect material for a hat
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023
I have been searching for the right material to crochet a hat that would be sturdy enough to stand on its own, but soft enough that I could wear it on my bare head. This is it. It is very pliable and easy to crochet, yet soft enough that I am not worried that the material will causing scratches. Good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raffia. Somewhat hard to work with for beginners.
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024
My sister just learned to crochet and this type of product has a learning curve. However, she got used to it and made me a Prada dupe beach bag. It’s absolutely gorgeous! We highly recommend this raffia yarn. 10/10 and, arrived in time. Great price point too.
