Are you a spinner, weaver, or knitter looking for the perfect basket to keep your supplies organized? This handcrafted basket is designed just for you! Measuring 12" x 12" x 6", it’s spacious enough to hold your yarn, roving, bobbins, or shuttles with ease. The solid woven base ensures nothing falls through, while the sturdy handle features two dowel rods that slide through both sides for added convenience.

In this class, you’ll learn essential basket weaving techniques, including how to identify the right and wrong side of the reed, master "chicken feeting" the fillers, twining, and start/stop weaving. By the end, you'll have a functional and beautifully crafted basket to take home—perfect for all your fiber arts needs!
