Originally designed to be a basket for holding fiber while drop spinning but this basket works well in so many other ways, plus its so pretty for displaying apples or other bulky items.

Excellent for leftover yarns held together or early spinning efforts. Takes ~130 yard of bulky for the main part and an optional 100 yards of leftover or accent yarn for edgings.

I used leftover novelty yarn.
