A range, start with the lower number working your way up to the highest number you can find

Do not start too low - you start gouging into the willow if you do. I've used 120 to start with in the past and ended the fine sanding with a 500 - i've found if you go finer than this it doesnt really make any difference to the quality of the finsih. I'm sure everyone is different, but this is how i would do it.
