"This book is perfect for experienced hands looking to employ a novelty fiber, and for beginners who want to dip a toe into lighter fare... The breezy photography and the boho vibes of many items make this slim volume particularly enticing."

DIY fashion brand Wool and the Gang’s debut book will get you hooked on sustainable and stylish summer accessories.
Founded in 2008, Wool and the Gang are a DIY fashion brand inspiring the next generation of makers. They're on a mission to get the world crafting, and to collectively use our skills to show a little love to the planet.
They travel all over the world to source their yarns, and are committed to sustainability and being the best that they can be. Part of this journey led to Ra Ra Raffia joining the gang, and they have now released their debut book of patterns for this vegan wonder-fibre.
“When it comes to yarn, raffia is one of the most eco-friendly around,” says Creative Director and Co Founder, Jade. “Sustainable, vegan and biodegradable, this long wood fibre gives amazing structure to crochet projects making it perfect for summer hats, bags and accessories.”
The book includes 10 of Wool and the Gang’s best-selling crochet projects, as well as new and exclusive content specially created by the in-house design team. The pattern range includes everything from clutch bags to backpacks, summer hats, homewares and more. They’ve also added brand new embellishment and customisation techniques to make each piece truly original to the maker.
With Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar all tipping raffia as a key trend this spring/summer, over 80,000 posts on Instagram for #raffia, and an increasing desire among people for more sustainable ways of living and dressing, this book hits all the right notes.
