Natural Reed Baskets

These baskets serve as easy access for your fibers & tools while providing storage that's pleasing to the eye. Each of them is handwoven with a rustic style here at the homestead.


All measurements are approximate within inches, as each basket is woven free-form. Colors may vary from photos due to variances in computer monitors & lighting conditions. Brush off dust with a clean paint brush, or wipe with a slightly damp cloth to clean. Dab with baby oil if the reed seems dry, & wipe off excess. Please note that these baskets are made for fibers, not reinforced for heavier items.


Inventory fluctuates based on sales at shows. Special orders for different reed colors require extra time to allow for dyeing of the reeds, weaving, & staining. So check for what you "need" & email me to place your order!

NEW! Medium Cherokee Type Basket

The dark brown & rust tones interwoven with the natural color reeds  pay a respectful nod to the Cherokee style of basketweaving. It offers a visually pleasant home for open storage of your fiber in any of its forms. Cross patterns enhance the outside base. A clear Minwax finish develops a patina over time. Brown reeds hand-dyed here at the homestead may vary in hues with each batch, so photos of your basket will be provided to ensure your satisfaction. One of my personal favorites!
