Drying Pine Needles Prior to Weaving

Pine needles can not be woven while green. They shrink while drying and the raffia palm or nylon thread used to weave them together will become loose. Once green needles are collected, they should be spread on a screen and dried in the sun. It's best to turn the needles in order to obtain the same rich, sun-baked brown on all sides of the needle. Alternatively, needles can be dried indoors for a slight mint green color. Green needles should not be kept clumped together or in damp conditions as they will quickly rot.
