Jerry, and oh yes, the Swiss Straw is definately more glossy. It has a real gloss to it, yes. The Raffia has no gloss whatsoever. mark........

According to International Guide To Fly-Tying Materials by Clarke and Spaight, Swiss Straw is artificial raffia, aka Raffene and Rayon Straw.

Mark - what are the differences? Does the artificial stuff have more of a gloss to it?

Also just confirmed that Swiss Straw and Raffia are two names for the same raffia palm material.
