A mid-width basketry workhorse, this 1/2" flat reed is a versatile weaving material suited for a wide range of basket styles and construction techniques.

Cut from the inner core of the rattan vine, each one-pound coil yields approximately 150 feet of reed — a solid supply for a new project or keeping your basket making materials well stocked.

  • Natural rattan construction:
    Made from the core of the rattan vine, this reed is sturdy and flexible, holding its shape cleanly as it dries — a reliable choice for well-structured baskets of all kinds.

  • Flat on both sides:
    With a flat profile on both faces, this reed works neatly as a weaver or stake, offering a consistent, even surface throughout your basket construction.

  • A versatile mid-size width:
    The 1/2" width sits comfortably between fine and wide reed — well-suited for basket sides, bases, and decorative weaving across a broad range of traditional and contemporary designs.

  • Varies in thickness:
    As a natural rattan material, individual pieces may vary slightly in thickness — a characteristic of the vine that contributes to the handcrafted quality of finished baskets.

  • Ready to soak and weave:
    Soak in water before use to soften the reed and make it pliable and easy to work with without cracking or splitting.

  • Accepts stain and dye:
    Takes color well, so you can personalize your finished baskets to suit any palette or project.

A dependable mid-size reed with plenty of uses, this 1/2" flat reed is a practical staple worth keeping in any basket weaver's supply collection.
