1/4" Flat Oval Dyed Reed – Pre-Dyed Colored Reeds for Basket Weaving
Shop Colored Reeds from America's Most Trusted Craft Supplier
For over a century, H.H. Perkins has been the oldest and most trusted American supplier of rattan, reed, and basket weaving supplies. Our 1/4" Flat Oval Dyed Reed continues that legacy — offering basket weavers, seat weavers, and DIY crafters premium pre-dyed reed in vibrant, hand-selected color combinations.
What Is Flat Oval Dyed Reed?
Flat oval reed is flat on one side and gently rounded on the other, giving your woven projects a smooth, professional finish with excellent structural strength. Our 1/4" Flat Oval Colored Reeds are pre-dyed using H.H. Perkins' proprietary dye packs, so the color is locked in and consistent from coil to coil — no messy at-home dyeing required.
Each quarter bunch of dyed weavers weighs approximately 4 oz and includes roughly 100 feet of usable reed, giving you plenty of material for baskets, seat weaving accents, wreaths, and other DIY projects.
