For the intermediate basket maker with experience making a beginner coiled basket.
Coiling is the basketry method where one material is wrapped around another in a spiral. The wrapping material is soft and pliable and used for weaving together the rows. The inner material can be a bit sturdier or can be the same material used for wrapping. This kit requires patience and perseverance.
