I just love playing with unconventional fibers! This is a beautiful, surprisingly soft and supple raffia from Universal Yarn. Wearing the garment is not stiff at all, I’d say it’s like wearing a Tyvek jacket?

The dyeing within a single skein will shift, don’t expect it to be the same at all. And I had one ball with a lot of white undyed spots, which looked great, but none of the other balls had it so I omitted using that ball.

I added another row in the collar with ~15% decreasing of stitches because the shoulder kept sliding off as written. This cinched it up beautifully.
