The Woolgathering Basket
The Woolgathering Basket was designed to contain and organize primitive rug hooking projects, tools and supplies, both at home and while traveling. Quilters, knitters, other needle workers, and crafters have discovered the Woolgathering Basket also works well for their projects.
The Woolgathering Basket is also roomy enough to provide storage for various projects as well as tools and supplies needed when working on projects. Luggage wheels/cart can easily bungee to the Woolgathering Basket, enabling you to roll projects and supplies from room to room, home to car, car to hotels or meeting sites.

Each Basket Individually Handcrafted and American Made
Woolgatherings’ baskets are made by an Amish family in Lamoni, Iowa. The Amish preserve their heritage and traditions by teaching their customs and crafts to their children at a young age. The Gingerich family work hard to create each original basket through the art of weaving and woodworking.
Because each basket is individually handcrafted, same type baskets can slightly vary in size, shape, color and detail. Each basket is signed and dated by the family member crafting the basket. The baskets have wooden bases and lids. They are woven from hand dyed or stained reed and completed with sturdy leather handles. Woolgatherings’ baskets are designed and constructed for durability, usefulness and attractive appearance.

What People Are Saying About Us . . .
“My Woolgathering Basket is the best purchase I have made for rug hooking! It keeps everything in one place so when I have time to hook I can begin right away. It’s also great to take to classes as it holds the cutter and clip-on light for convenience. I plan to buy another to keep my hand piecing and hand quilting projects organized as well.”
– Margaret Caddy – Houston, TX
“I would not be an avid rug hooker without my frame, my cutter and my Woolgathering Basket. My Woolgathering Basket sits next to me at home. It holds my cutter, my wools and all my tools. I was like a kid at Christmas when it arrived and am just as thrilled with it today as I was the day it arrived. Its’ quality craftmanship is beautiful enough to be displayed in the main living area at home. I love everything about it. Thanks Sheila. We rug hookers owe you.”
– Kelly Goldstein – Prairieville, LA
“The Woolgathering Basket is perfect for my beading and stringing projects. The two drawers in the bottom organize all of my excess beads, string and tools. I use the large open top of the basket for storing my bead storage boxes along with other supplies. The removable tray on top contains the supplies that I need for my current project. I can remove the tray, set it in my lap and have everything I need for my next project at my fingertips. The Woolgathering Basket holds everything I need for beading and stringing and is the perfect height to sit next to your chair or sofa.”
