Black Maul is a very high-quality basketry willow. The variety is suitable for weavers of all abilities. The longer the rod, the thicker it will be. A 6ft rod is around the same thickness as a pencil.
Semi-dry willow may require soaking and mellowing to make it pliable. Black Maul can be boiled and stripped for buff rods, stripped of its bark when in full leaf to produce white willow, and steamed in a boiler to turn the rods a deeper colour.

Brittany Green willow rods stay roughly the same thickness throughout their length. The name is a little misleading as the willow is predominately dark grey. A member of the Salix Purpurea variety, when dry, the top section of the willow turns a purple/dark brown.
The dark colour gives Brittany Green a rustic feel making it a great choice for weaving medieval or re-enactment baskets. Semi-dry willow may require soaking and mellowing to make it pliable.
