Willow Tamer — available in 5 1/2", 4 1/2", 3 3/4" sizes or as a set of all three
Prepare your willow rods for weaving with the Willow Tamer, a simple, effective tool designed to make willow pliable without overworking or kinking the fibers. Wrap rods around the tamer to gently break the inner fibers and relax the wood, making it easier to bend and weave into borders, and tight curves.
Features
Three size options: 5 1/2" (large), 4 1/2" (medium), and 3 3/4" (small) diameters
Also sold as a set of all three sizes for full versatility.
Designed specifically for willow basketry: creates controlled fiber breakage to ease weaving without damaging the rods.
Compact, easy to use: simply wrap the rod around the tool and work it until the rod becomes pliable.
The 5 1/2" Willow Tamer is ideal for larger baskets and wider curves; the 4 1/2" and 3 3/4" sizes are suited to smaller baskets and tighter borders. Having all three gives you the flexibility to tackle any project.
The Willow Tamer was developed in response to a weaver’s request and refined over several stages of testing. It’s a purpose-built tool you won’t find sold elsewhere.
