Weaving Information

Usually when I am clicking around basket weaving websites I am just looking for free patterns.

But, recently I was on The County Seat and found some really great general information about reed, dyeing reed, attaching handles, shaping tips and just becoming a better weaver.

I was particularly interested in their Reed Chart ( found under FAQ's about Basket Weaving). A handy little chart that shows the approximate feet in a pound of reed (by size and type of reed).
