In the kit you will receive:

• Two large bundles of high-quality willow weaving rods – all sustainably grown in Somerset. (We send you the right amount for the project plus quit a bit left over!)
• A pair of leather handles plus leather thongs for attaching them. (This is super easy and fun to do and no stitching is required.)
• A soaking bag - your willow will need to be soaked for a couple of hours before you weave it - full instructions are included.

We design all our courses so that they require absolutely minimal
tools. To do this course you will need:

• A pair of secateurs
• An old screwdriver to help make gaps in the weave
• A craft knife

That’s it!
Your basket will take about 4 hours to complete. You can either do this in one long afternoon session or you can split it up into three shorter sessions on separate days.
