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

A basketry essential, this 1/4" flat reed is a versatile weaving material well-suited for detailed work, smaller basket forms, and intricate patterns.

Cut from the inner core of the rattan vine, each one-pound coil yields approximately 370 feet of reed — plenty to tackle a new project or keep your basket weaving supplies well stocked.

• Natural rattan construction:
  Made from the core of the rattan vine, this reed is both flexible and durable, holding its shape neatly as it dries — a dependable choice for fine, well-finished basketwork.
  
  
• Flat on both sides:
  Unlike flat-oval reed, this reed is flat on both sides, making it a clean, consistent choice for weavers who want an even surface on all faces of their work.
  
  
• Ideal for fine detail and smaller forms: 
  The narrow 1/4" width is well-suited for petite basket forms, tight weave patterns, and intricate designs where a wider reed would be too bulky to manage.
  
  
• Varies in thickness:
  As a natural material cut from the rattan vine, individual pieces may vary slightly in thickness — part of what gives handwoven baskets their authentic, handcrafted character.
  
  
• Ready to soak and weave:
  Soak briefly in water before use to soften the reed and make it easy to bend and shape without splitting or cracking.
  
  
• Accepts stain and dye:
  Takes color evenly, giving you the flexibility to finish your baskets in any shade you choose.

From delicate small baskets to fine decorative weaving, this 1/4" flat reed is a practical, go-to supply for any basket maker's studio.
