This 1/4" X 100 Yards Black Matte Raffia Ribbon gives a natural look to any craft project or gift packaging you add it to. Made of quality rayon (not the cheap paper type), this raffia has a matte finish that makes the color appear more natural, flat and smooth. The raffia strands are twisted together, but can easily be pulled apart to create more volume. Raffia ribbon makes wonderful gift bows and is incredibly simple to use - it crafts like twine but holds it shape better and has much greater volume.
