I did a quick Google search about pine needle coil baskets and found some informative information at the below URL:

I have found that the type of Pineneedles don’t matter as long as there are at least 6 inches long, or longer. I don’t use wax floss when I make my baskets though like the girl in the article, our use raffia.

Thank you,

Her name is Lynn and I wondered if she is a member of Krafters Korner.  Lynn, if you are on this list, would you consider teaching this craft to us? If she is not already a member, maybe we can invite her to join or be a guest teacher.
