Beautiful greens and purple on a backdrop of black. This soft basket is made with wool yarn twined around hemp cord. Much time and patience is required to make each unique bag.

As other materials became available such as corn husks, burlap, and yarn they adapted and used those materials.
This basket can stand on its own and can also be used to hold pens, glasses, keys, coins, rocks, etc.
