Class #48 – Leia
Leia makes use of a 3D-printed jig that helps the weaver maintain proper spacing when creating a Star Base. 4-rod wale is then utilized to help secure and stiffen the base. 32 spokes are inserted when the sides are partially woven to create a footer. These spokes also ensure the border is elegant and colorful. The 4-rod wale continues up the sides with a Bargello design that plays upon the versatility of spoke count and weave. The star base jig is included in the price of the basket.
