I hear they're especially good when woven underwater.

Various plant fibres would work, had some success making twine from nasturtiums recently. looks like we simply need a thin and strong fibre and a thicker bendy one.
i don't believe they weave one basket and cut it in half, i think they weave two halves.

It was one of those macrame-tier hobbies housewives had in the 1970's. It died out pretty quick because those strips that you weave into baskets shed fibers and slivers wherever you work..

I started to get into weaving at some point, but I got bored quickly and the only thing I ever finished was a dumb rectangle tray, with wild willow
It's cool cuz everything's free, you can use branches, grass, bark, leaves, all kind of stuff and you basically only need a knife

>I'm trans btw if it matters
the baskets in the pictures do not look like they shed any fibres whatsoever.

>edges look super raw
huh, maybe they do cut them in half
looking at the weave it seems totally counter to how every other basket is made, won't it make them way harder to make into that shape.

found some good photos showing inside, the edges are very raw. don't even know where they start weaving this, you'd think at the hinge/lock where the little curve is but any way you look at it, it looks like a difficult way to go about it.

It looks like they just make a rectanglish mat and turn it into a basket after
