The Ultimate Basket Book

Two of the most celebrated basket-making books--The Basket Book and Handmade Baskets --are now together in one magnificent resource. Better still, it features 10 extra projects and beautiful brand-new colour photography. Lyn Siler thoroughly explores tools and materials; introduces all the fundamental techniques--weaving, plaiting, coiling, twining, and wailing; and provides advice on adding rims, bases, and handles. With her help, it's simple to create functional everyday baskets, such as the Twill Weave Market or Double Lidded Picnic baskets, as well as decorative items.
