Learn to make a coiled basket!

Monday, March 3rd, 10:30 – 12:30

  • Learn how to make your own coiled basket using raffia and yarn. Unless you are very speedy, this will be a project you will start at the library, then finish at home.
  • It’s a great way to use up your leftover and odd balls of yarn!
  • Adults and teens welcome.
  • We will provide materials, but you can use your own yarn if you prefer.
