ABOUT JILL CHOATE BASKETRY:
I'm Jill, I've been making basket for almost 30 years- welcome to my world of basketry!
If you love weaving baskets (and brooms) and are looking for some good step-by-step instructional videos then this is the place to hang out. I use to travel all over the country teaching basketry now I stay in North Idaho and make videos, it works.
Watch my videos for easy to make and inspirational basketry projects.
My goal is to show you that weaving a basket is not rocket science and veering off into the unknown of designing your own baskets doesn’t have to be hard, it just takes a few tricks and a little bit of math.

Hey jill! Im trying to find out how many stalks of broomcorn come in the “tips and tails” on the site? Trying to see how many bundles needed for a wedding broom like this

[@jchoatebasketry]

It's hard to say exactly how many "stalks" are in a 1/2 pound as weight varies with each stalk. If I wanted to do a wedding broom and I was using the tips and tails for the OUTSIDE of the broom only I'd say 2-1/2#'s would work.

@@jchoatebasketry thanks jill! I was wondering what the 1/2# had ment!

Hey, Jill! What type of varnish do you recommend for the handles and the plaiting? These double headed brooms are Soo cool!

[@jchoatebasketry]

I think any kind of varnish will work. It just makes the grain in the handle jump and "seals the deal" on the braid so that it won't be coming undone anytime soon.
