When I saw Sally Pointers tutorial on how to process burdock fibers into a coil basket, I knew that this would be the first mission for my bone needles.

Watch her three-part series for in-depth instructions:
-    • Burdock & Bramble Coil Basket: part one  
-    • Burdock & Bramble Coil Basket: part two  
-    • Prehistoric Nettle Textiles, scraping...  

The only thing I did differently was the use of a elderberry tube as a gauge instead of brass, otherwise I followed her recipe pretty closely.

I plan to use the baskets (so far I made two of them and I still have a lot of fibers left) to sort and store my flint flakes, as they tend to get lost easily.
