This was the first time I have used this. I learned to cane a chair by YouTube! I know where every flaw is. 😉Nice product!

This works well and is a great value, however unlike reed rush it has no stretch and is harder to get to lay in line than one that you could soak. But for paper rush it’s fantastic. I had some left over and used it for my parrots toys!! Very sturdy.

I used this (along with some videos on you tube) to recane a stool seat that the cats had destroyed over the years. I did not put it in water, and while it was a bit stiff, I was able to manipulate it for my purposes. It was a bit tricky to tie pieces together, but I used a needle nose pliers to help me pull the knots tightBonus use: I had some leftover, so I wrapped the wooden legs of a tall table that my foster cats were using for a scratching post. Instant cat heaven! The cats all love to scratch and the legs are being protected. The dimensions of the stool I finished is 13 x 11 x 1.5 inches and I used up about 2/3 of the roll. So I have enough to make more cat scratching posts!The color pictured seems about right, if anything the rush I got might be a slight bit darker.

I had to reweave an old chair and it did great, watched a vid on YouTube for how and it's still hard and tight as a rock with our fat bums sittin' on it lol.

I was able to finish weaving a new seat for one kitchen chair but only because I had some scraps leftover from a previous project. This spool was not enough for one chair (approximately one square foot). The fiber itself was not twisted well during manufacture leaving weak areas that I had to wind by hand while weaving adding considerable work to the project. One such area broke under moderate tension causing me to have to splice in a new piece costing more rush fiber. This was my second time ordering this same fiber from the same seller and the first batch was considerable better. It could've been a poor spool but I'm considering other options for my next project.

I use this product as an alternative to another and was a little scared. I make yarn baskets, and usually with cotton cord. However, on my quest for a more sturdy and less expensive material, I found this. This has been perfect for my baskets. It's really sturdy on the finished product. It took some time to get used to the more effort and tension needed coming from a soft, really flexible, cotton cord.I absolutely love using this material for a hobby of mine. I also tought others using this material and they prefer it as well.

The picture is my 4th weaving project, before this I was using vines I collected. I could not continue collecting vines because of snow. This cord is a great substitute to practice on. I am unsure of what the gauges mean on the product page but I will stick with 5/32 inch.
