Traditional antique wash creel foraging/knitting/craft basket with strap

Woven from antique washed willow, this beautiful wicker creel is perfect for a foraging trip to the woods or harvesting your beautiful garden blooms! Originally designed to be lined with moss and sunk into the river for storing fish, they are great for foraging as you can either wear them slung over one shoulder or crossbody; perfect for leaving your hands free for picking berries! They are also unbelievably useful for crafts, crochet and knitting, as you can store the yarn inside the basket and then draw it through the hole as you knit/

Willow is a great eco-friendly resource as it is quick growing and locks up huge amounts of carbon. Once harvested and woven into baskets the carbon is locked away until eventually (hopefully never!) the willow biodegrades and re-enters the ecosystem.
