[Nfb-krafters-korner] coiled baskets and trivets

[Dixie]

I know of a blind woman in California who makes them using pine needles.  She sells them at her local shop for artisans.

Sure. The ones I make are done using clothesline and yarn. They can also, from what I've heard, be done with reeds of some sort though I've never tried that version. Also, narrow strips of cloth, stitched together, can be used in plaáe of the yarn, but I haven't done that. The yarn is wrapped around the clothesline and the clothesline in turn is coiled around inthe  process.
