What is twining in basket weaving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Twining is a technique used in basket weaving to hold all the stakes in the base of a basket and keep them from shifting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After weaving the horizontal and vertical stakes together and incorporating your handle (if including one), take a round reed and twine around all the stakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stakes will be held tightly in place. As you build the walls of your basket, a tight base comes in handy because you won’t be fighting moving stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
