Thanks

I’ve just started weaving. I call it wood working so it sounds more masculine 😂

[@TextileIndie]

Haha! I know a lot of great male basket weavers. In a way it is a wood craft😁

[@julissahernandez1750]

Hi, what do you call the little notches or screws on the handle?

[@TextileIndie]

That’s a great question. I’m not sure what the technical name for them is.

[@ppetets002]

Can you recommend a good place to order Reed from please?

[@TextileIndie]

I often order from Basket Makers Catalog online.
