Two Pounds of Broomcorn

This bundle of broomcorn is ideal if you prefer a more robust look for your initial broom made in our Broom Making: Naked Turkey Wing Workshop or want to continue your craft with other design variations. This two pound bundle is enough for six additional brooms.

Broomcorn is a tall plant derived from the sorghum family and is distinctive because of its long and fibrous seed branches. Those stiff sticky branches are perfect for broom making as they catch and hold on to dust and dirt while you sweep. The plant is cultivated, harvested, sorted, and can also be dyed as an added embellishment.

Materials included in this listing:

Two pounds of extra broomcorn

Note: This listing is intended to accompany Alyssa's full Broom Making: Naked Turkey Wing Workshop. Purchasing this add-on listing by itself will not allow access to Alyssa‘s digital workshop video or include all the materials sent in the full Broom Making: Naked Turkey Wing Workshop.
