Round and half-round Rattan Core (reed) for basketry and weaving

What a versatile, flexible, durable, beautiful natural fiber is rattan!  (Calamus spp., the Rattan Palm) Rattan core is also called center-cane or rattan core reed. It comes in several cross-section shapes, such as half-round, flat or oval. We are now stocking both “round” and “half round”.  Rattan is so strong, it can be twisted into ropes. It can be plaited, or woven into furniture, basketry etc.  For ease of use, soak it in cold water first, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Because it’s 100% natural rattan, size and diameter will be different sometimes, please make allowances for this. It grows naturally on a plant and does not come from a factory, so each length is different. The rattan will be shipped randomly. We sell by weight, so rest assured you will get the right quantity in different lengths. HAPPY WEAVING!
