Juncus is a soft rush considered a sacred weaving material and used for centuries in basketry by numerous Native American tribes, including those throughout the Willamette Valley, Western OR and coastal California. More info...

Juncus has been used to create a variety of practical storage containers, from gathering baskets to European-style purses made for settlers.
