A kit comes with everything but the tools and the finish: a hard-copy pattern, pre-cut reed, accents, and handles. Patterns are also sold on their own, delivered as PDFs. Either way, the basket is yours to make.
Two products, depending on where you’re starting from. Most baskets in the catalogue have both.
For weavers who want everything in one place. The pattern, the reed sized to it, the accents, the handles — packaged together and shipped. Add tools and a finish of your choice.
For weavers who already keep reed on hand. The pattern is delivered as a PDF, emailed to you after checkout, ready to print or read from the screen.
Each basket in the catalogue lists its kit and pattern options on its product page.
The kits are sized so a careful first-timer can finish without help, and an experienced weaver can move quickly. Nothing precious about it — just reed, a pattern, and a quiet evening.
A hard-copy pattern specific to your basket. Pre-cut reed, sized to the pattern. The accents and handles the design calls for. Everything except the tools and finishes — those you supply.
Soak the reed, set the base, build the walls, work the rim. The pattern walks each row at its own pace. Take an evening or take a weekend — the basket waits.
Trim the ends, attach the handles, and finish with your own stain or paint. Sign and date it underneath. Then put it where it belongs.
The full pattern for the basket you chose — step-by-step written instructions, with links to our online technique guides.
Pre-cut and sorted by length: uprights, weavers, rim pieces. Sized to the pattern, ready to soak.
Any colored or contrasting reed the pattern calls for, cut to length and packaged with the rest.
Wooden, wire, or reed-loop — whichever the basket uses. Hardware included where the design needs it.
Tools and finishes are not included. Bring your own — or see the Colors & Finishes guide for what we use on our own baskets.
A rotating selection of kits we recommend right now. The full lineup lives on the basket catalogue — each one carries its own kit and pattern options.
Mothers and daughters. Sisters and sisters-in-law. Grandmothers and granddaughters. Friends across a kitchen table. The kits are sized for one pair of hands, but they’re a lot more interesting with two.
Meaningful afternoons, useful baskets.
We’re putting together short videos for the trickier rows — the kind you can pause, rewind, and watch again. Not ready yet, but coming.
In the meantime, the written instructions in every kit cover every step, with links to our online technique guides. If something doesn’t click, write to us.

A hard-copy pattern for your basket, plus all the reed, accents, and handles the design calls for. Tools and finishes you supply yourself.
A clean flat surface, a small pair of scissors or clippers, a shallow bowl of warm water for soaking the reed, and a towel. Some weavers also like a packing tool — not required.
Finishes are up to you. Stain, paint, or leave it raw. See the Colors & Finishes page for the palette we work from in our own pieces.
Nearly. Most baskets in the catalogue have a kit and a pattern option — check the kit & pattern section on the basket’s product page to confirm.
Yes. Patterns are also sold on their own as PDF downloads — delivered by email after checkout — for weavers who supply their own reed.
It depends on the basket and the weaver. A small kit might come together in an evening; a larger or more intricate one across a weekend. The pattern is yours to keep, so there’s no rush.
Write to us with a photo of where you are and we’ll write back with the next move. Every basket we sell, we’ve woven a few of ourselves.
Yes. Add a note at checkout and we’ll send it without an invoice, in a plain box with a small handwritten card.
