**The Mountain Thread Company’s signature 3/16” rope was developed specifically for coiled rope basketry, and is custom made exclusively for The Mountain Thread Company. It is similar to layers of denim or canvas, which can be sewn on domestic machines. Use the provided heavy duty needle (a size 100/16 denim needle) to accommodate the thickness of the rope.
This intermediate level kit is ideal for the crafty sewist who is ready to build and develop new skills related to coiled rope basketry. Coiled rope basket projects are for sewists who are confident in steps like changing the machine needle, adjusting stitch length and width, and pivoting. Your sewing machine will need a zigzag stitch and be able to handle sewing something like jeans.
Basket photos are for demonstration purposes only - this kit will guide you through making your own unique baskets based on your awesome style and personal taste.
