- This video is mostly about how to turn the sides of a placemat, whariki or wall hanging type item. As with all my videos, it is aimed at people who have woven before. The Material used here is Harakeke/NZ Flax/Phormium Tenax but this can be made with other pliable and flat materials such as cardboard, plastic, bark or pandanus.

I found this while trying to learn to weave cattails in the States, and I'm so, so, so grateful to have found you! Some of the best and most detailed tutorials on the web. You've really opened up worlds and saved me hours of frustration. I can't thank you enough! Keep it up!
I am glad I could be of help to you! I do use cattail as well every so often and its very similar material indeed. I do have even more tutorials on my website (ad free but paying subscription) but they are mostly aimed at NZ-based weavers and cover all sorts of projects from hats to wall art.
Same here! I’m just beginning to learn weaving and there’s not much out there on weaving with cattails. These videos are wonderful.
@@starrwhite9483 Thank you! Glad they are of use!
If by catstail do you mean what we call Raupo here? It has a brown stalk flower. I've been able to weave it but it dries out and falls apart or do you cure it first? thanks
Hi there I came across your channel a coupoe of days ago as I have a plethora of flax growing in my yard and nearby and it seems silly not to learn how to use it and then teach my children hoe it can be used to make such beautiful everyday items and decor. Thank you so much for your content! I'm having a lot of fun making homewares and gaining such valuable knowledge. Love it!!!
thank you for your kind words! Best of luck!
Excellent! Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing your skills ❤️
you are very welcome!
Gostaria de aprender artezenato com você mas sou brasileira não entendo sua fala
This is really helpful thanks❤
Thanks a lot . 😊
Lindo adorei ver como se faz OBRIGADO por postar .
Thank you. This is the part i keep forgetting.
Hi you are amazing but I would like to know how do u dry your flax I love weaving but havnt learnt to dry yet I do it fresh
Kia Ora Rosemarie, thank you. That depends a lot on the season and the weather. I prepare it and boil it usually and then just hang it in the sun with a bit of wind to dry them quicker and then they just dry... ready to store for years.. I have put up a video here on how to prepare harakeke so you may want to check that one out.
@@Flaxworx thanku I really am gratefull
Thank you heaps! 😊
Thank you! How many mm are you using for your whenu on this mat?
I think I mention it in the video - I forgot but I think its 40
Oh sorry i was taking about the width of your whenu, about 1 cm, or 1,5 cm?
@@nataliaparrado1540 that is totally up to you whatever suits your usual preparation anything will go but the general rule is the bigger the mat the longer the whenu will have to be and the wider you make them the longer they will have to be. I just split them with my thumb so they are on average about 1-1.3cm in the normal range or half that for smaller width items and wider for other things.
Thank you, and sorry for all the silly questions :)
ขอบคุณมากๆค่ะ
wonderful! osdadv ❤

اموزشتون عالی
Thank you Mam it is very helpful, if someone wants to weave a bigger size means 12 feet square what if not by leaf but with plastic lace of some kind could you give me a hint of the length of a lace. ❤️ To hear if you reply if you still there please 🙏👍
oh, I don't know actually, I don't think I have ever woven anything that big before so I think you would have to try and find out. Apologies!
@@Flaxworx Thank you Mam❤️👍
@@pkshiing4415 It would be easier to weave smaller sections together and then tie or weave the pieces together. Kind of like quilting.
Hi
Tautoko to you, how long roughly will it take to make 1 cup placemat?
Kia Ora, I dont know, that depends on your skill and the width of your whenu
Oh yes, thanks for reply.
I'm wanting to make packs
1) 4 Cup placemat x 1 fruit bowl placemat
2) 1 small Vase and flower
Is it possible to create 1 pack of each in couple of hours for experienced weavers?
@@jt9564 it really depends... like so many other things in life. One person is good at something and another is not. Experience comes in a lot of ways and even though I consider myself to be experienced in some areas I would struggle in others so I cant really answer that question I am sorry. I really do not know.
Muchas gracias

Kia ora , I'm very keen on making large potatoe basket .and I can't seem to find anything online
try Ali Browns Book - Weaving a Large Container from NZ Flax (purchase on her website directly). I dont have that much space for any Waikawa here at home (or rather space to make one). I am not sure if Veranora Hetet has one of those classes on her Paying website so you may want to check those out too. Sorry about that.
What’s the width of these whenu?
I think this was my "normal" width in this instance (around 1.2cm), but it really does not matter as this was meant to demonstrate the technique of turning the sides rather than making a particular sized item:-)
Can you make a hat out of Harakeke leaf Please make a video explaining
If you search my channel, there is already a video for a hat (potae)
@@Flaxworx I've seen the second one, but I'm talking about making videos the other way around. please make sure

saludo desde Jalisco me estoy enseñando podía hacer el acabado más lento por más que miro no le entiendo por fabor gracias
Apologies, it is for experienced weavers only and the finish is quite special. However, have a look at this step by step video at the end it will show the finish as well.
Apologies for the Google translate translation!

Disculpas, es solo para tejedores experimentados y el acabado es bastante especial. Sin embargo, eche un vistazo a este video paso a paso al final, también mostrará el acabado.
