Why You'll Love This Book

Raffia creates a completely different crochet fabric from traditional wool or cotton yarns. Its natural structure makes it particularly well suited to accessories that need to hold their shape, including sun hats, statement bags and baskets.

Raffia Crochet is a great choice if you already know the basics of crochet and want to try something fresh, fashion-forward and perfect for warmer weather.

Yarn Pairing Suggestions – Wild & Woolly Yarns

For these projects, choose a crochet-suitable raffia or paper yarn with enough structure to hold the finished shape.

Natural and neutral shades create a timeless summer look, while brighter colours can transform simple patterns into statement accessories. When substituting the original yarn, always check the pattern gauge and recommended hook size before starting.
