Troubleshooting
Raffia tears easily
Gently pull and twist the raffia to create a stronger strand, or use multiple strands for binding. Avoid excessive force, especially when wet.
Color seems faded
Ensure the raffia is stored in a dark, dry place away from UV light. If already faded, consider using it for projects where color vibrancy is less critical.
Difficulty tying knots
Dampen the ends slightly with water to make them more pliable for tying, then allow them to dry completely. Alternatively, use a dab of craft glue to secure the knot.
