Flat Reed 5/8" 1 Pound Coil | Basket Weaving Rattan Reed

A sturdy, wider-width option in the flat reed family, this 5/8" flat reed is a solid choice for basket makers working on mid-to-large forms where a more substantial weaver or stake is needed.

Cut from the inner core of the rattan vine, each one-pound coil yields approximately 120 feet of reed — a dependable supply for your next basket-weaving project.

• Natural rattan construction:
  Made from the core of the rattan vine, this reed is strong and flexible, holding its form well as it dries — well-suited for baskets that need to maintain a defined shape.
  
  
• Flat on both sides:
  With a flat profile on both faces, this reed lays cleanly as a weaver or stake, providing an even, consistent surface across your basket construction.
  
  
• A substantial wider-width reed:
  At 5/8", this reed sits between mid-size and wide — a natural fit for basket sides, bases, and bolder weave patterns where a narrower reed would feel too light.
  
  
• Varies in thickness:
  As a natural rattan material, individual pieces may vary slightly in thickness — an inherent quality of the vine that adds to the handcrafted character of finished baskets.
  
  
• Ready to soak and weave:
  Soak in water before use to soften and make the reed pliable and easy to shape without cracking or splitting.
  
  
• Accepts stain and dye:
  Takes color evenly, so you can finish your baskets in any shade to match your design vision.

A reliable wider-width flat reed for structured basket making, this 5/8" reed is a practical addition to any well-stocked basketry supply collection.
