PRODUCT DETAILS
Round Reed – Premium Grade A Rattan Reed for Wicker Furniture, Basket Weaving & DIY Crafts
Round Reed is one of the most versatile and beloved natural materials in the world of wicker furniture repair, basket weaving, and DIY crafting. Made from the inner core of rattan, Round Reed is prized for its incredible ability to bend and form into shapes when wet — and then hold that shape permanently once it dries. This unique quality makes Round Rattan Reed an essential material for wicker furniture makers, basket weavers, and crafters of all skill levels.
At HH Perkins, we carry only the highest quality Premium Grade A Rattan Reed, sourced and selected for superior strength, flexibility, and consistency. Whether you're restoring an antique wicker chair, weaving a Nantucket basket, twining basket staves, or working on a completely unique DIY craft project, our Round Reed gives you the pliability and durability you need to bring your project to life.
Why Choose Round Reed?
Round Reed — often casually (but incorrectly) referred to as "Wicker" — is actually the raw material used in the wicker weaving style, not the style itself. It's the go-to choice for:
- Wicker furniture repair and restoration – re-weaving seats, backs, arms, and decorative wraps
- Basket weaving and basket making supplies – including basket staves and twining
- Seat weaving for chairs, stools, and benches
- DIY crafts of nearly any kind
- Puppets, parade floats, and novelty builds — yes, really! Crafters and hobbyists use Round Reed for far more than furniture and baskets.
Because it's extremely pliable when soaked in water yet remains strong and durable once dry, Round Reed is trusted by professional furniture restorers and hobby crafters alike.
Sold By the Pound, in Multiple Sizes
Every coil of Round Reed at HH Perkins is sold by the pound, and we stock a full range of sizes so you always get the right diameter for your project. As a general rule: the narrower the Round Reed, the more footage you'll get in a coil.
