Commonwealth Basket Round Reed #3 2-1/4mm 1-Pound Coil, Approximately 750-Feet

Top quality, the best reed on the market in my opinion. This is the blue ribbon PLB reed which is well know to basketmakers. I prefer this reed because it is evenly milled and smooth. Both the round and the flat reeds by Commonwealth have been perfect to work with. Prompt shipping in 2 days makes it worth the price for me, since shipping costs with other sellers usually runs more than the reed. I will continue to order from Amazon for my basketry reed.

Exactly what I'd hoped for. I'm not really a basket maker. But, I purchased the reed to make a woven piece to use as a window prop for a jewelry store I do window displays for. This worked out perfectly. 95% of the reeds were pliable enough that they did not break with handling. If I'd been more careful, I probably wouldn't have broken any.

It worked fine.

This was very affordable and easy to work with. This was my first time trying to weave anything and I’m glad this is what I started with. Now I have a million other ideas to use with this! Got it 3 days before it was to be delivered 👍

Exactly what I wanted, very flexible and when I soaked it in water, I was able to make Brigid's crosses easily. I can't wait to make baskets!!!

It was a little thinner than called for but it worked out great. We got way more than we needed for a great price.

Perfect! We are making our own baskets this year for Easter since we can't go see family and it's perfect. I didn't a small practice one and came out beautifully

Absolutely the WORST quality reed I have ever used. Turns very dark when soaked for over 1 minute, and becomes mushy in seconds, yet so brittle when dry it is nearly impossible to separate the strands without breaking them. Also, when I purchase #3 reed, I do not want 2.5 - 3. The size of the strands is very variable, not easy to find even 2 strands that are the same. I will never purchase from here again, would rather pay a bit more, and get the quality and size I need. Waste of money.
