Is Raffia really the same thing as Swiss Straw? I ordered the product that was called Swiss Straw and this was rolled up on flat "cardboard spools". (Can't come up with English name for it.) From the same dealer (at the same time), I also ordered Raffia... which was delivered in "chunks" in zip-lock bags.
The Swiss Straw is soft, thin but strong, and easy to work with... while the Raffia is very much like dried grass. Very fragile and can crack up just by bending it.
To me these two seem very different from eachother.

It is what we call Swiss Straw. It can be found in craft stores as Raffia Straw. Comes in a load of colors. Tony

Absolutely awesome, thanks for sharing. Things I don't think I could ever master, but love to look at and dream that I could. I am curious though about the "Raffene" material, never used it but think I have heard references to it before. Jimi
Hi Everyone,
I've finally had a chance to update my website with a new and hopefully ongoing section called "Interviews and Articles" Hopefully if I get enough contributors and keep the creative juices flowing it should be pretty fun. So here is the first installment with Fly Tyer Paul Whillock please let me know what you all think as far as ideas or recommendations. http://www.nwtroutchaser.com/articles.htm
Oh I finally set up my domain name as www.nwtroutchaser.com for northwest trout chaser. It should be easier to remember.
