Raffia is a great yarn to work with for homewares, the perfect balance of lightweight and stiff to hold its shape.

We will make up a small basket that can be used as a pencil holder, plant pot or useful basket around the house. After that you'll have the confidence to take on a larger project.

Students should be comfortable with basic crochet stitches such as double and treble (UK terms).

Please bring to the workshop:

• a 5mm crochet hook
