Working with Reed

  • When purchasing reed, look where the coil begins.  If the beginning is thick, the coil has shorter pieces in it.  If the beginning is smaller, it has longer pieces in it.  This is important when looking for long weaving pieces for lashing.
  • For better mileage out of a coil of reed, cut the longest spokes first, then the second longest, and the shortest ones last.
  • If you’re home alone and need help in pulling some reed, try closing the ends in a drawer, the oven door or the dishwasher door. (Submitted by Mona Hartzler)
