Raffia is nice, but a huge mess that is terrible to use.
The raffia I bought from Wool and the Gang has been a pleasure to crochet with. It is sturdy and easy to use. However, the skein is abysmal. I unpackaged it just like many videos showed me- clipping the side straps, pulling from the side and never from the middle- but it continues to loop into the middle and gives me yards and yards and yards of "yarn barf". I've spent almost as much time untangling my project and unwinding and rewinding the skeins as I have crocheting. I am making something VERY simple, yet I have had to cut and restart the raffia about 10 times so far and I am only on the second of three skeins that this pattern calls for. It is hugely disappointing to spend about $80 on materials for a project, yet it is going to turn out poorly because of how the skeins were wrapped and the need to constantly cut the raffia from massive knots. I am frustrated.

Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your feedback!
We noticed, you mentioned you are working by pulling from the side instead of inside. We actually find it best to leave the ball band in place, and start working from the inside of the ball.
Please do reach out via the link below so we can help you ensure you have enough raffia for your project!

Nice products but tape full of knots. Had to rewind it myself
Evri claimed that they delivered the order which of course was untrue. Wool and the gang checked and agreed the Evri deliveree was untrue. Was delivered later in the day.
The tape was full of knots and had to rewind it myself
Not good value for the price

Love my new raffia
Love my new raffia! This is one of the sturdiest raffias I’ve found, making it an excellent choice for bags, hats, and more. Thank you, too, for offering such a wide selection of colors. They’re perfect for summertime projects!

Great product

It is a clear pattern
It is a clear pattern, and the colour of the rafia is great.
The guide time is overly optimistic and the raffia gets in a mess far too easily.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback!
Due to the paper nature of this yarn you need to be careful when pulling the yarn from the ball, as unlike wool or cotton, the yarn is very smooth and can fall away from the structure of the ball quite easily!
The raffia yarn is held together with 2 strands of extra yarn which are tied around the outside of the ball to protect it. Both of these strands have knots in them, you can cut these strands or undo the knots to start the ball. I find it best to leave the ball band in place, and start working from the inside of the ball. Some people I know put it in a yarn bowl as well to help keep it tidy, or a small project bag where it doesn't have space to move around.
We hope this helps!
