Here are the resources I love to share when I offer Pine Needle Basket Weaving classes.
Supplies
RoyalWoodLTD.com When I purchased spools in 2022, they were $13.98. Today, in 2025 they cost $22.70. They also offer gourds, drilled wood bases and so many things for basket weaving.
TenThousandMiles.shop Venus offers Florida Longleaf pine needles, drilled wood bases. These needles can be soaked for an hour and it won't affect the dye. Visit her website to order and to see her creations.
Waxed linen
Blick has 5 ply 3-packs for $13
Michaels has white and black for $4 - I didn't see the brown!
I've also ordered from Beadaholique.com and Fire Mountain Gems.
Books
Many kudos to Judy Mallow for her lovely book, Pine Needle Basketry. Abebooks.com has copies, ThriftBooks.com has copies, BookShop.org has copies!
Royal Wood also has lots of good books - because this craft has been around for so long, the books may contain some outdated language or ideas.
