Eco Mini Basket Knit Kit - everything you need to knit your own cottagecore mini basket or set of baskets, using 100% recycled tape yarn.
The baskets are knit all in one piece with no seams, so you only ever have two ends to sew in, at the start and the end.

ECO CREDENTIALS: This kit uses Hoooked Ribbon XL, which is mostly recycled cotton and just a small amount of other recycled fibres. It is therefore mostly biodegradable, and 100% recycled from waste materials that would otherwise have gone to landfill. This kit also reduces waste by providing the exact amount of yarn you need for one basket (any small length left at the end is great for tying gifts or hair)!
The paper bag the kit comes in is both recycled and recyclable.
SETS:
Easter - 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 crazy plum
Flower girl - 1 pink, 1 white, 1 yellow
Halloween - 1 orange, 1 black
Christmas - 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 dark green
NEEDLES IN STOCK: if you are buying needles with your kit, please note that I only have 2 sets of double pointed and 3 circular needles in stock (it's just hard to make this clear with the way Etsy displays buying options).
Please note that the apparent colour of the product may vary according to monitor differences.
