Flat Oval Reed 1/4" – 1 Pound Coil | Basket Weaving Rattan Reed

A basketry staple, this 1/4" flat-oval reed is a go-to weaving material for detailed work and smaller basket forms.

Cut from the inner core of the rattan vine, each one-pound coil yields approximately 275 feet of reed — a generous supply for fine weaving projects or topping off your basket making supplies.

• Natural rattan construction:
  Made from the core of the rattan vine, this reed is flexible and durable, holding its shape cleanly as it dries — ideal for neat, well-defined basket structures.
  
• Distinctive flat-oval profile:
  Flat on one side and rounded on the other, this reed gives the outside of a basket a smooth, polished appearance — especially useful where the weave is visible and finish matters.
  
• Well-suited for fine detail work:
  The narrow 1/4" width is a natural choice for smaller basket forms, intricate weave patterns, and tight spaces where a wider reed would be difficult to manage.
  
  
• Ready to soak and weave:
  Soak briefly in water before use to make the reed pliable and easy to bend and shape without cracking.
  
  
• Accepts stain and dye:
  Takes color well, giving you the flexibility to coordinate your finished baskets with any design vision.

Whether you're working on a delicate small basket or adding fine detail to a larger piece, this 1/4" flat-oval reed is a practical and versatile addition to your basketry supplies.
