Round Reed #1 for Basket Weaving

A fine-diameter rattan reed widely used for basket weaving and twining, Round Reed #1 is a versatile and popular basketry supply for weavers working on a broad range of projects. 

Cut from the inner core of the rattan vine, each one-pound coil consists of reed that is approximately 1.5mm in diameter and yields approximately 1600 feet per pound coil— a generous supply for weaving, twining, and decorative work.

• Natural rattan construction:
  Made from the core of the rattan vine, this round reed is flexible and durable — easy to manipulate and reliable for consistent, even weaving throughout a project.
  
  
• Perfectly round profile:
  With no right or wrong side, round reed works smoothly from any angle, making it an easy and forgiving material to weave with at any skill level.
  
  
• A popular #1 size for weavers and twining:
  At approximately 1.5mm, Round Reed #1 is well-sized for use as a weaver alongside larger spokes, and is a commonly used size for twining basket bases and sides.
  
  
• Abundant 1600-foot yield:
  The fine diameter means each pound goes a long way — ideal for projects that require a lot of yardage or for keeping a well-stocked weaving supply on hand.
  
  
• Versatile across techniques:
  Well-suited for twining, waling, and decorative weave patterns, Round Reed #1 is a go-to material for adding both structure and visual interest to basket-making projects.
  
  
• Ready to soak and weave:
  Soak briefly in water before use to soften and make the reed easy to bend and weave without cracking.

Whether you're twining a basket base or adding decorative detail to the sides, Round Reed #1 is a practical, high-yardage basketry supply worth keeping well stocked in your studio.
