This sturdy oval open top storage basket is a bit smaller than our ever so popular kntting baskets.
Woven from cattail stalks and strips of turquoise and white plastic that are either salvaged from fraying prayer mats and rugs or purchased new at a Dakar mat factory, this little sewing basket is crafted to beautifully stow your hand sewing or to hold objects on the tabletop in any room of the home.
Makes a great gift for the knitter in your life!
size: 11" l x 7" w x 7" t
handmade by Wolof women in rural Senegal

This item is fairly made in Africa. It has made its way here today thanks to the hard work of Leslie Mittelberg building a network of artisans across Africa. Each artisan is able to work from the comfort of their own home and community. The fair payment they receive will not be reduced by traveling expenses, childcare costs or haggled prices. The artisans use their earnings to put food on the table and pay educational expenses for their children.
