Product description

Learn how to make a square or round beautiful contemporary basket (traditionally used as a Spanish cheese separating basket!) – a great basket for beginners or for those developing their weaving style.

The whole basket is put in place right at the start so careful selection of rods is key to this beautifully shaped basket. An exercise in control & flow & not so difficult to control as traditional English roundwork.

Ideal as a stunning shopper or handbag.

Perfect for absolute beginners or those with some weaving experience.
