Anyone know where I can buy Natural Raffia with a good amount for $30 or other alternative material for bending and where its located.
Has to be in Sydney area
Lincraft/Spotlight are no good since its $6-10 for a small roll and its paper raffia, only natural raffia were in colours which is not a good idea when its soaked.

Re: Raffia
Bunnings? Try the rope section or the outdoor section where the garden stakes are
