It’ll require the weaver to already have experience and knowledge of how to maintain a firm coil, and confidence with the wheat stitch. Weavers will be provided with a “bee” engraved wood center, poly thread, and yellow beads used to complete the basket. Bring small sharp snips and possibly small jewelry pliers if there is difficulty gripping sewing needles.

This elegant monochromatic basket starts on an 8” round base. Weave with reed and maple wood strips. Start/stop weaving gets you up the sides as you add and secure maple wood overlays. Learn to create the Starbursts pattern by working gently and patiently with the maple as you string the star points around the basket.
