Basket Weaving Supplies

Wanted for the school: basket weaving reeds

The older students at Thetis Island Elementary are weaving baskets and we are wondering if anyone has any round reed (prefer #3) they could part with. Happy to pay reasonable price.  

Please contact Simone Luckham 250 246 4802 for pick up, or you can drop it off during school hours.

Much appreciated
