Description
The covered coil technique uses one continuous, round length of core material, wound around or on top of itself in an expanding or decreasing spiral to construct the basket and lends itself to a wide variety of expressions. Silk, wool, cotton or novelty yarns will be used to cover the core material and attention given to shaping, rims and embellishing.
