My hands can get so dry and having them in reed water does not help. Here is a simple tip to help keep our basket weaving hands soft. When you put water in your bucket to soak your reed, just put a small squirt of inexpensive hair conditioner into the water and swish it around. When I say a small squirt, I mean about a marble size amount of conditioner to about 2 gallons of water. I keep a sample size bottle of hair conditioner in with my basket weaving tools at all time. This will not hurt the reed and will help keep your hands smooth.
Happy Weaving!

What a great idea! Thanks! As soon as this poison ivy on my hands goes away I'm gonna start weaving baskets again and this tip will really help.
Love all your baskets. They are gorgeous and colorful - your book looks interesting too. I use plant fibre and home grown plants - thanks for visited my blog - Hugs Nat
