Nick, Raffia and Swiss Straw are two totally different things altogether. 
Your discription of each is quite accurate. mark

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.
