Straw Basket (Waved)

Sold by GoldCoast Audio FROM VEGS · Accra Metropolitan

To weave a basket the straw is first split with the teeth in two sticks, then twisted on the leg. The twisted straw is dyed in hot water and a small pot with batik dye. For weaving a basic cross is made out of strong (undyed and untwisted) straw. Around this cross the uprights are set up and added and the round are woven. So a basket with relatively strong but flexible texture is made.
