Rated 4.9 out of 5 — 7 verified reviews

Attach this function basket to your loom or weaving bench to keep your favorite weaving tools close by and organized. They work perfectly by attaching the leather straps through the handles of both Rosie's Weaving Bench and the Harrisville Bench Kit. Check out our blog post on these baskets for more photos and ideas to attach the baskets to other benches! 

Basket also looks great on the handlebars of your bicycle!

These baskets are GREAT! They're handmade, strong, durable, colorful, and every one is unique, being entirely hand-made. Ideal for shopping at your favorite market or as a nice carry bag for your current fiber project.

  • Width: 9" - 10"
  • Length: 14" - 16"

Proceeds from the sale of these baskets help to provide healthcare, school fees, and community buildings for the weavers and their children.

Bolgatanga is the largest town in the Upper East region of Ghana, about 20 miles South of the Burkina Faso border and very close to the edge of the Sahara Desert. The climate is extremely dry except for one rainy season which lasts about 2 or 3 months, making agriculture very difficult. As a result, basket weaving is the main income for this region.

The supplier is a member of the Fair Trade Federation. For 20 years they have used Fair Trade principles in all their dealings and have worked with many of the same artisans for over a decade, supporting them and their extended families while working together to bring these African baskets to the American market. One of the greatest parts of importing from Africa is seeing the positive impact they have on the many artisans and their families.

Weaving basket

"I bought one of the loom baskets made in Africa and have it mounted on my loom bench. It holds quite a bit so I have multiple shuttles and bobbins holding all the colors of yarn I need for my project. It's well made and beautiful to look at. I also look forward to mounting it on my bicycle when I go biking with friends to hold my lunch and other supplies."
