The basket for March was sold out so quickly we are going to repeat it. The basket features a little 7” hardwood rolling pin for a handle. Useful (and cute!) for the kitchen or just about anywhere!! Give as a gift – or to keep for yourself. It has a filled base so nothing can fall out the bottom. The base is about 8” long, 4” wide, and it’s 3” to the rim. This is a good beginner basket and fun for any level of weaver. Any tools needed will be available for class use. Another great pattern from Joanna’s Collection.
