Why choose this yarn?

100% paper fibre: This is not a traditional wool or acrylic yarn—it’s crafted from paper fibre, giving it a distinctly ribbon-like, raffia texture that works beautifully for structured items.
Ideal for accessories and décor: With its firm structure, it’s highly suited for items that need shape and durability—think tote bags, baskets, placemats, hats, coasters and more.
Generous yardage: Each 50 g ball yields approximately 75 metres (~82 yards) of yarn.
Recommended tools & gauge: Suitable for needles or hooks sized approx. 4.0–5.0 mm (US 6–8) with a gauge around 14 stitches = 10 cm/4" in a looser tension for structured projects.
Modern, eco-friendly feel: This yarn offers an on-trend textured look and a crisp finish, making it perfect for modern, minimalist and summer-ready projects.
