Coiled Rope Bowl Set

This DIY Rope Basket Kit from The Mountain Thread Company sets you up to sew not one, not two, but THREE rope bowls to customize as you wish. The finished baskets would be about the size to hold a watch & other jewelry, some candies, or crafty bits. Expect some variation, but each basket would measure around 4-5” across and about 1” tall.

This beginner level kit is ideal for the crafty sewist who is ready to build and develop new sewing machine skills related to coiled rope basketry.

The Set of Three Rope Bowls Kit contains the following:

• 15 Yards of 3/16” 100% cotton rope (an exclusive Mountain Thread Company braid made in North Carolina) to make three round baskets
• Instructions for making three baskets - including tips for customizing the basket AND finishing detail
• 1 heavy duty sewing machine needle

In addition to the materials included in the kit, makers will need a sewing machine**, scissors, and all purpose thread. Makers can also incorporate any of their own fabric remnants if desired (fabrics are not included).

**Wondering if your sewing machine can do this? If you have hemmed jeans/pants, sewn canvas, or stitched through multiple fabric layers with your machine, the answer is most likely 'yes.' If you've tried to do any of the previous sewing projects and your machine gets cranky and refuses to play, this might be more of a challenge for you. But, since each machine is different this is up to you!

This is an introductory basket project for sewists who are confident in steps like changing the machine needle, adjusting stitch length and width, and pivoting.
