It is 12” high by 6” diameter, featuring a wood bottom and a lid with a wooden disc hole at the top. It will accommodate a skein or ball of yarn and a single strand will come out through the top hole. Various types of carrying straps will be provided. We will provide a linen liner for an additional $10 or you may line it yourself in your favorite fabric. This is a quality basket which will last a lifetime.
