A mid-range diameter rattan reed used across a wide variety of basket weaving techniques, Round Reed #4 is a reliable and versatile basketry supply for weavers of all skill levels.

Cut from the inner core of the rattan vine, each one-pound coil consists of reed that is approximately 2.75mm in diameter and yields approximately 500 feet — a solid supply for weaving, twining, and spoke work.

  • Natural rattan construction:
    Made from the core of the rattan vine, this round reed is sturdy and flexible, holding its shape well as it dries — a dependable material for both structural and decorative basket work.

  • Perfectly round profile:
    With no right or wrong side, round reed is straightforward to work with from any angle — a clean, consistent material well-suited to a range of techniques and basket styles.

  • A versatile mid-size #4 diameter:
    At approximately 2.75mm, Round Reed #4 sits between the finer weaver sizes and the heavier rib sizes — making it a natural fit for use as both a weaver alongside larger spokes or stakes, or as a spoke paired with finer weavers on smaller basket forms.

  • Solid 500-foot yield:
    Each pound coil provides a generous amount of reed — plenty for a full basket project or restocking your basket weaving supplies.

  • Well-suited for twining and waling:
    A commonly used size for twining larger baskets as well as decorative waling rows that add texture and visual interest to finished baskets.

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

A go-to mid-size round reed with broad application, Round Reed #4 is a practical and versatile addition to any basket maker's weaving supplies.
