Cassandra Moar says the most difficult part of weaving is actually finding the flax so when she received calls from several people inviting the Whangarei weaver to collect flax she was "amazed".
Ms Moar appeared in the Northern Advocate two weeks ago as part of a story on a study which proved the safety of wahakura - woven flax bassinets. Ms Moar is contracted by Northland District Health Board to make wahakura and said it was hard to find flax in Whangarei and she often travelled out of town to find it.
That's when the calls started to come in.
"The response has been massive. I'm still trying to get around to everyone, it's just amazing.
"I have had more than 10 calls from people saying they have flax I can collect," she said.
