i just scrolled down on that same tools post. til you can make baskets out twine!

You sure can!

In fact after doing even more research in the months after that tools post, I found out you can use even more than just bramble/blackberry shoots and twine. There is an entire species of willow called "basket willow" from which the shoots are used to weave.
