Post Jstern raffia grass color held and price
So I'm looking to get 3-4 different colors I hunt mostly marshes and every once in a while some timber I was thinking of going with tan, medium brown and edge for the blind but I need a green for early season but don't know what would be to bright or to dark. So if any one has some green what color did you pick for the same reasons. Also am planning on getting 25lbs what do you think the best way to split up the colors are?

This is what I got--overall good except the light color is more like corn stalks (great for layouts goose hunting!). The edge/tan is the one that matches dead cattails the best

UBFG LBS. UNTREATED RAFFIA - FIELD GREEN 2
$4.55 0.00% $9.10


UBTB LBS. UNTREATED BULK RAFFIA:TIMBER 2
$4.55 0.00% $9.10

BROWN


UBOG LBS BULK UNTREATED RAFFIA: OLIVE GREEN 2
$4.55 0.00% $9.10


UBMD LBS BULK UNTREATED RAFFIA - EDGE/MUD 8
$4.55 0.00% $36.40

BROWN


UBTA LBS BULK UNTREATED RAFFIA: TAN 8
$4.55 0.00% $36.40


UBSA LBS UNTREATED RAFFIA: SAND 4

I don't have the color swatches so i can't remember what color is the lightest one (maybe "sand"?)

I think I have some old ones (I re-did some sections using shorter peices. Also all the darker edge bundles were in the bottom of the box they sent me so my first blind was lighter than it is now):




Some in progress:

Is raffia grass a synthetic material or an actual plant. Never heard of it before I came on here. To me it looks like Prarie hay

Good to know. I assume it lasts longer than hay because people put it on boat blinds. If you've used hay before you know it only lasts 1 season haha
