Macrame Fruit White Basket 3 Tier Ring Size 6" / 8" /10"

How are the three tiers arranged?

The three round baskets hang one below the other from a single cord. The rings are 6, 8 and 10 inches, so the baskets step down in size and you get three levels of storage in the footprint of one, hanging up high rather than taking up counter space.

What are the tassels on it?

Knotted tassel ends finish off the cords below the baskets, giving the hanger a soft, swinging fringe. The baskets themselves are worked in an open knotted weave, so the whole piece looks light and loose rather than heavy, even when it is filled.

What is it meant to hold?

It is a fruit basket, so it is made for keeping fruit like lemons, bananas or apples within reach and out in the open. Some people also use the tiers for garlic, onions or small kitchen bits, sorting them by basket size.

Will it suit a small kitchen?

Because it hangs, it frees up counter space, which helps in a compact kitchen. The white cotton knotting with fruit tucked in the tiers adds colour and a homely, bohemian feel to a corner, near a window or beside open shelving.

How should I keep it clean?

Wipe it gently with a damp cloth or sponge and a little mild soap. Avoid soaking it and avoid harsh chemicals, which can damage the cotton fibres. Gentle spot cleaning is all this hand-knotted piece needs.

Is it handmade?

Yes. It is knotted by hand in cotton at the Indiehaat Macrame Unit in Maharashtra, led by master artisan Brijbala. Hand-tied knots mean minor irregularities from one piece to the next, and that is part of what makes each one its own.
