Materials

Lomandra

We walk our Country to find the best grasses to weave with. The grass is beautiful, sharp and strong. We use our hands to sort and prepare the tough green leaves. Our process of cutting the grass to weaving a basket takes over a month. And we sit together and weave as our families have always done on Gamilaroi Country.

Madagascan Natural raffia: Superior Grade

Natural, undyed Madagascan raffia, sustainably grown and harvested.

Raffia is the shredded leaves of the palmyra palm, native to Madagascar. The mature leaves typically grow several metres long. They are then shredded along the width to get a beautifully long and strong fibre suitable for many types of craft.

Hundreds of metres, depending on how you use it, and will make lots and lots of baskets, bags, etc. Suitable for dyeing (please use dyes responsibly).
