Joining Weavers

Now that you know how to do the weaving with your weavers in and out of the stakes, you are now going to do the joining.

This is done by joining a new weaver when the old has run out, always leaving the old weaver behind a stake on the inside of the basket. Now you are going to insert the end of a new weaver above it, behind the same stake, also on the inside. Continue the weaving as before and the join is not going to show on the right side.

Trimming the Ends

Make sure that all the ends are on the inside of the work. Clip off, leaving just enough for the end to rest on its stake. Always remember to cut at a slant.

Traditionally, the canes may become brittle and hairy when they are being worked, and that is why here is one tip after you have done the work. This is called singeing. You are going to move a flame very quickly over the edge. Make sure that you do not burn or blacken any of the work.
