I collect baskets and am always looking for unusual as well a functional patterns. This ticks all the boxes for me with one exceptionIm not sure if I can find that specific yarn. I have thought of a possible substitute. Ive had fairly good success using Plarn (DIY recycled yarn from plastic grocery bags), and it might work here because the example basket looks to be pliable rather than stiff like wicker.
