Raw Willow – Purpurea Helix

Purpurea Helix raw willow is prized for its fine, slender stems and outstanding flexibility, making it a material of choice for demanding basketry work. Grown in France in the Indre-et-Loire département and certified organic, it is harvested by hand using secateurs directly at the stool to ensure consistent quality and uniformity.

This unpeeled willow has a natural colour ranging from green to brown, with an even appearance as shown in the photo. Once soaked, it regains excellent pliability, making the stems easy to work with while minimising breakage — even on fine, detailed pieces.

Reliable and consistent, it is ideally suited to professional basketmakers and craftspeople looking for a willow that performs well in precise weaving, lightweight work, and refined finishing.
