Wow! I have been looking to see if I can find any videos that would show me clearly how to weave a basket yours is by far the best and the most detailed I cannot wait to start thank you so much xx ❤❤
So glad you're enjoying them!
I made my first willow basket using your videos. I love that you go slow, explain everything perfectly, and that you timestamped it as well. I appreciate you as well as your channel ❤❤❤
Decades ago, I was enchanted by basket weaving. This video awakened the totality of that time in my mind. I loved her tutorial for the perfection of the demonstration and explanation. Thank you!
Thank you for this free tutorial. Willow basket weaving is a craft and I’m so grateful you shared your knowledge, I can’t wait to try my hand at basket weaving.
I also loved the aesthetic of the fire place.
Glad it was helpful!
Well... thanks for the "to the point" showing! You made me start my first try today! Thank you for your video!!
Thank you for such a good description. It really helps me who cant afford to take a course. You are excellent in teaching. Lots of love.
Thanks to you I started this wonderful journey for the first time🙏

you are so descriptive and explain everything so well! thank you!
Thank you for helping me.

Nice one Rachel. Love it
Your tutorial was absolutely brilliant. So clear with great videography to help me understand the process. I have only just started looking into basket making and would love to learn. I am from the uk but now live in New Zealand. Im heading back over Christmas (2024) for a couple of months. Will or can you provide lessons? Also do you know of any other alternative to willow that i could use. I think it maybe hard to source here. Willow is definitely calling me however.
INCREDIBLY detailed and extremely well filmed/edited. Bravo 👏 So excited to get my flanders red delivered 🙏😁 thank you!

Thank you for your feedback Karen. Much appreciated
Thank you soo much for an excellent video, detailed, clear, great zoom in and wonderful to know what each part is called. I feel ready to start😊. The willow you are using, have you dried it first and then rehydrate it?
Hi there, loved watching this. Can I ask where would I buy a set of Bodkins from - can you recommend any other useful tools for willow work and weaving please. Many thanks.
Where can i purchase willow to weave with. Im in america
Can I ask how long the stick are in the base of of your basket?
Where do you buy willow?
😍👌👏🙏❤
Where can I buy supplies for this project?
You can order here at www.musgrovewillows.co.uk or follow the links in the video description :)
I noticed you are using fresh willow instead of dried then soaked willow. That causes loose baskets when the willow dries out. I can't recommend using fresh green willow. First dry then soak then make your basket. Ive done baskets from fresh wild grape vine and they got super loose after they dried. All my previous small willow baskets became quite loose after they dried. Drying first is a must to pre-shrink your rods of what ever you are using then soak until pliable enough to weave without breaking or cracking. Good job on the tutorial except the use of green fresh willow.
We agree, for the purposes of the video we have used green willow but we would always recommend using dried brown willow, buff or white for weaving a basket for this exact reason. Thank you :)
I have just gathered an enormous pile of willow for basket making, and i appreciate the idea that the preferred way is to dry the willow, soak it, then weave it, but i also appreciate that i don’t need to wait in my enthusiasm for getting started, that thus is encouragement to start TODAY as opposed to waiting some days or weeks for the willow to dry.
Where do I order willow?

Sería bueno que se Pudiera leer en castellano. Plis
Please keep your Camera on the work, only on the lady when she is not working, the in and outzooming is very distracting.......I like the weaving a lot!❤
