TRIPLE TWINING (Three-Rod Wale)

When you triple twine you begin with three separate weavers

and start them next to three consecutive stakes. Taking the

weaver on the left, begin by going over two stakes to the right

and behind the third stake and back out to the front. Continue

by taking the next weaver on the left and repeating the over

two, behind one and out.

This basket is woven with chocolate brown dyed 7mmFO stakes and natural 3mmFO weavers. The triple twining is done in chocolate brown and royal blue. The color selection if up to you. It can easily be adapted to match your décor or your likes. Also looks nice with natural stakes and weavers.
