Spoke Weight — Basket Weaving Tool for Holding Spokes and Stakes

A handy basket weaving tool, this spoke weight is a heavy weighted bar used to hold spokes and stakes flat and in place while you work the base of a basket — keeping everything steady so your hands are free to weave.

At 16 inches long, it spans a wide range of basket base sizes.

• Holds spokes and stakes in place:
  Laid across the spokes of a basket base, this weight keeps them flat and stationary while you begin weaving — eliminating the need to hold them down by hand and making the early rows of a basket significantly easier to manage.
  
  
• Generously sized at 16 inches:
  The 16-inch length spans a wide range of basket base sizes, making it a versatile tool that works for small and larger basket forms alike.
  
  
• Heavy weighted bar construction:
  The solid bar provides enough weight to hold spokes firmly in place without shifting — 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick for a low-profile tool that stays put on your work surface.
  
  
• Built-in measurement markings:
  One side of the weight features measurement markings — a practical bonus for measuring and spacing spokes accurately before and during weaving.
  
  
• A time-saving workspace tool:
  Particularly useful when starting a basket base, this weight frees up both hands to focus on weaving rather than keeping materials in position.

A practical and clever basket making tool, the spoke weight is one of those additions to your workspace that quickly becomes hard to weave without.
