Material
This small basket was made with a handwoven piece of fabric for the outer and some lighter and heavier secondhand fabrics for the lining and base. The outer woven fabric was made from a mix of secondhand macramee and wool yarns, which were both sourced through online secondhand marketplaces.
Technique
The textured outer piece was woven on a small table loom. The macrame rope and wool yarn were alternated during the weaving process to form a striped pattern with thin black lines. After the warp was taken off the loom, the woven fabric was cut in half lengthwise and combined with some lighter linen for the lining and some sturdy canvas for the base of the basket. This way two small baskets were created from one piece of woven fabric.
Styling
This small basket works perfectly as a yarn storage or to keep other small items, like drawing supplies or an extensive washi tape collection. It is also a good size to be used as a decorative pot for some house plants.
