I ordered this not knowing 100% whether it would work for what I intended. I’m working on a large costume build where I will be inside the costume, and wanted a lightweight material to make rings for the frame. I probably could have used a slightly larger size, but I’ve just been winding 3 rings together to make 1. A few things to note, the pieces of ratan are of varying length and are tangled together in the bundle (or maybe I just tangled them trying to figure it out). And as I bet others who use ratan frequently already know, you have to get it wet before trying to twist it into a new shape. Otherwise it will just coil back into the spiral like it was in shipping.So far so good on the costume build! I’d recommend this to anyone trying to weave with ratan.
