Rye Straw Basket Large

Beautiful, unique basket hand woven with rye straw. Perfect for a picnic, stroll to your favourite farmers market. It's also great to display dried flowers. 

It's made using an old, traditional technique called coiling. Coiled straw work is a basketry technique where rye or wheat straw is made into coils and then bound into shape with strips of bramble, cane or string. Coiled straw was used for a wide range of baskets, bowls and bee skeps. 

Coiling technique is not that popular anymore. Sadly, it’s becoming forgotten. Folka loves it, I hope you too. Let’s revive this beautiful, sustainable craft together!

Measurements: 27 cm x 35 cm / 47 cm including a handle 

Hand crafted by artist Mikołaj from sustainable, freshly harvested rye straw in Poland.
