What Is a Braided Basket?

A braided basket is a storage container constructed by weaving strands of material -- in this case, 100% wool yarns -- into a flat braid pattern that forms the basket's walls and base. The braiding technique creates a durable, textured structure that retains its shape while offering a soft, pliable feel distinct from rigid wicker or rattan baskets.

What You Get With the Rhody Rug Wool Solids Flat Braid Basket

1. Pure Wool Construction -- 100% wool yarns provide a soft, comforting texture and natural durability that maintains the basket's shape through daily use.
2. Reversible Design -- flip the basket to extend its lifespan and refresh its appearance, doubling the wear you get from this handmade accessory.
3. Vibrant Color Selection -- eight colors from Taupe and Lt. Gray to Scarlet and Red Wine, achieved through wool's superior dye absorption for rich, lasting hues.
4. Handcrafted in the USA -- each basket is individually woven by hand, ensuring quality craftsmanship and supporting domestic artisan manufacturing.
5. Woven Fiber Filling -- a resilient interior filling provides plush cushioning and structural support for years of reliable storage.
6. Generous Storage Capacity -- 18 x 12 inch dimensions accommodate blankets, throws, toys, or everyday items while fitting most shelving units and floor spaces.
