🛠️ Quick Preparation Guide

Unlike willow, river grass requires targeted hydration to avoid breaking:

1. Soak (15-30 min): Soak only the amount you want to use immediately in warm water to avoid it becoming slippery.

2. Rest (1 hour): Wrap the fiber in a damp cloth to allow the hydration to penetrate to the core.

3. Twist: Maintain a constant twist. If it dries out while working, spray lightly with water.

⚠️ Note: Dry the item in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources to prevent the fiber from becoming brittle.
