Thanks for this, really well explained! I'll try it now with some long grasses that have just got thoroughly soaked in some classic British rain! :)

This technique makes using just about anything possible. I can see using rope and thread or combining reed stalks with long leaves

Thanks for this. Have you ever Weaver with Tiger Grass? I've never weaved a grass basket and am curious to try. A friend just gifted me a basket weaved from cattails and it got me excited to try my hand at it. I have a very large stand of Zebra grass and thought it might make an awesome basket. Thanks for your help.

Thank you! That was explained really nicely. I'm going to try it with the tall grasses i trimmed in a nearby meadow so my cat has a trail to walk that wont bother her face. lol Some of the grass is already dry from last year so, whether i use fresh or dry, I'm already set! lol i have no idea what kind it is but, I'm going to assume itll work.
I also read that honeysuckle is good to use for weaving and there's tons of it here. But thats going to take a couple days of preparation, like boiling it and such. But, Im going to cut my teeth on this average grass, first, before i try to get fancy and complicated. lol
Thanks again!

Have you tried using seaweed? Good video.

I don't know if anybody will know the answer to this or not but I'm wondering if you're able to start the basket put it down and then go back to it a few days later or because you started it and the grass is getting dry if that would make it too brittle in the grass of break when you go back to it.
