"I received my order yesterday & just wanted to tell you thanks so much. The color is spectacular. Very vibrant. I will definitely order from you again." Valorie
Advice
Wetting
Add a few drop of fabric softner to your water when wetting dyed reed, helping to keep your dyed reed as dyed as possible and to prevent bleeding. Your natual reed should be wetter than yours dyed reed, so that the dyed reed wick that water to it without color and not the natural reed wicking from the dyed reed with color. The dryer you weave with both the better.
Weaving
Cane has two sides the right sided is the bark and only take the dye in some places. The wrong side of the cane is porous and take the dye very good. You can weave with either side. Using the right side give you a mute look. Using the wrong side out will give you a bright look.
Shipping
PLEASE READ: When you place an order, you will be charged for the items only, THEN when we determine the shipping charge (using standard USPS or UPS charges), we will send you a separate invoice for shipping. If you have any questions, please email us!
Please allow two to three weeks for delivery. I do not keep large stock so that reed and cane is fresh. Weather can cause longer delay. If it is rainy or very humid I do not dye.
All package are shipped USPS Priority Mail (Eastern Coast 1 - 2 days; Midwest 1 - 3 days; West Coast 2- 5 days) and this comes with tracking and email notification but if you would like save on shipping, we can ship USPS Ground for less. You will have to request this and we will send a refund for the different in shipping, but can take up to 10 days for West Coast. Alaska may required addition shipping and time.
All color are hand mixed and not all colors, sizes or large quantities are in stock. They will be dyed as soon as time and weather permits but this can take some time to dye and dry. We like the reed or cane to dye for at least 10 days to two weeks. If the weather is damp or very cold this can take some additional time. If you do not have this extra time please note this on your order.
I teach and vend out of town several times during the year so I can not dye during these times.
Additional shipping fees may apply for orders from Alaska or Hawaii, so please call for shipping charges.
Cane Dye and Space Dye: All sizes except 2.0 and 2.5 are now special orders.
Reed Dye and Space Dyed: All size larger that 1/2" are now special order.
3/8 flat oval and larger are now special order.
Once an order is placed, please add two to three weeks to dye dry and ship. Thank you for your patience!
Prices Increase
Reed and Cane prices are going up with every shipment we receive, since supplies are being held up in China. These prices are for current stock and will increase as I dye new reed and cane. Thank you for your understanding.
Baskets
All projects will be going up 20% because of increase in wood prices.
