ABOUT JILL CHOATE BASKETRY:
I'm Jill, I've been making baskets and brooms for almost 30 years- welcome to my world!
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.

Jill, what type of twine are you using? I have only been able to find a black #18 bank line tarred twine that’s a 250 lb test. that red is nice, wondering where I would find that or any other colors that are that strong.

[@mrjoshuads]

What material is that for the weaving?

[@jchoatebasketry]

broom corn

[@polianathes]

Is it 1/4 or 3/16 reed? Is the reed wet? Never worked before with reed.

[@jchoatebasketry]

You could use either and yes I wet it.
