Dave, Niche don't MAKE "Raffine" or Swiss straw as our U.S. cousins call it, they buy it in & re-sell it. Most craft shops keep it by the way, it was originally used for making lampshades.

Hobby Craft shops sell loads of materials for fly tyers... threads, tinsels fritz.... feathers... worth a look guys!!
