Flexible and perfect for soft, plush items such as pillows, blankets, towels, yarn, toys, stuffed animals, hats, gloves, etc. The basket will stand up on its own once filled, and is also reversible! This item is made once your payment is processed and, as you will see in the shipping information, completion time can take up to TWO TO THREE WEEKS.
This handy storage option measures approximately 18 inches in diameter and 14 inches in height. Although you may request variations in color, size, and shape, I do not often recommend making these baskets any taller or very much wider than these dimensions. Taller and / or wider baskets usually come out much too floppy and blanket-like for any items inside be removed and still stand up on its own. You may use a spray starch to stiffen the fabric and make it more sturdy and maintain its round, cylindrical shape. This item is machine washable and machine dryer friendly, due to a durable, traditional acrylic yarn. New and improved, your basket is now crocheted with virtually no "seam" and is often finished with a small, low-profile "<3 Coquesia Belle" label tag near the bottom.
The yarn I've selected creates a thick, woolen-feeling fabric, measuring a little over 1/2 inch thick. The yarn is a dusty off-white or light beige, flecked throughout with bits of sienna brown and black - Screen variations may show the item as a little more gray or washed-out than it actually is. Your basket will be mindfully assembled in our pet-free and smoke-free home, likely near a steaming cup of coffee or tea, while half-watching a riveting TV series, in the ever green Pacific Northwest.
Your basket will arrive folded up inside a manila envelope to reduce shipping costs, unless you are ordering multiples. Orders of more than one basket at a time will most likely be shipped in a box which is approximately the same dimensions as the baskets themselves.
RE: Custom Orders - This item can be made in pretty much any color, shape and dimension, however the price and arrival will vary, depending on size and availability of supplies. Remember, measurements larger than this listing are usually not recommended due to the flexible nature of crocheted yarn. I typically recommend only very few inches taller or wider than what is listed here at 18 x 14. Smaller sizes and more square or rectangular basket shapes are always available!
