Some new buyers do not know what is split wicker. pls reference below jpeg.
To weave a wicker plant pot with split wicker become more and more common and popular nowadays
What is split wicker, as its name suggests:
One whole wicker split into two half, each half wicker, we call it split wicker
Just look around yr local market or samples on the shelf of canton fair, u will be clear: more buyer will prefer the split wicker to weave willow plant basket after comparing the price of the wicker plant pot with the whole wicker.
As the production cost creasing and the market depression, this situation become more and more necessary but not people really like the split wicker initiatively.
In fact, it still has some cheaper material than split wicker material:
The bottom is using woodchip instead of split wicker, this also could save some cost.
All the changes will not bring any influence for one willow plant baskets. after all, the basket will not load more heavy, it’s ok for one not very big wicker baskets if using split wicker or wood chip.
Certainly, all changes are to meet the market and it’s for not big wicker baskets.
In fact, the weaver prefers split wicker and wood chip, which are softer than the whole wicker. The hands will not much sour after one whole day weaving. That’s to say the whole wicker is more difficult to weave than split wicker.
If the basket is big, we still will suggest using the whole basket to keep good quality. Even the split wicker becomes more popular, we still should consider the quality first.
Whether u prefer wicker plant pot with split wicker ? or u prefer more the whole wicker or wood chip. Welcome to leave yr suggestion.
