I have a wall hanging with a Star Base…and the spoke gaps are uneven. It drives me just a little nuts. To forestall that happening again, we designed a small jig that holds (4) groups of (4) #4 spokes so the weaver can focus on weaving and not spoke gap. Once the spokes are secured with 2 rows of twining, just pop the base out, spread the spokes and you are ready to weave a trivet, basket or a wall hanging. There is a free tutorial on how to use this jig in the Tutorials section of this website.

While the jigs are very durable, they are not immune to high temperatures (over 140 degrees Fahrenheit) or pets.
