The What You Need Kit
Shipping calculated at checkout
While clothespins may no longer be a staple in every modern home, in the world of basket weaving, they remain a humble and indispensable tool. We created the "What You Need" Kit to gather all our preferred, hard-working essentials in one place, designed to make your start as seamless as possible.
This curated bundle includes: a sharpened pencil, our custom Underwater Weaving measuring tape, 20 clothespins, our preferred scissors, and the awl we personally use and recommend. These are all items you could source with a little effort, but we've bundled them here to help you bypass the search and get straight to the joy of making.
Note: This bundle is an optional companion for weavers who wish to acquire our complete, preferred toolset. It is not necessary to complete any of our weaving kits. We always include clothespins in any kit that specifically requires them for its pattern.
Details
Artisan Made: Designed and handcrafted by Erin and Peggy Pollard and a small team of weavers in Maine and New York.
Note: Due to the freehand nature of our practice, each basket is one-of-a-kind and may vary slightly in shape and size. Each piece holds the maker's spirit.
Materials: 100% Rattan Core, including substantial one-inch rattan for a structural feel. Sourced from an abundant Climbing Palm in Southeast Asia through local longtime partners.
Color: We use non-toxic, organic, natural dyes. Each piece is finished in our Maine Studio. Enjoy natural color variations from the plant fibers.
Care
For indoor use. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Rattan is a natural and flexible plant fiber. If misshapen during use, firmly mold back into place.
