Rye Straw Basket Large
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.
