l love the fact that this gift basket is able to be reused and not thrown away like so many other gift bags that we buy.

The Yarn That’s Perfect For This Basket

I used my favorite yarn Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice and held two skeins together at the same time to give it sturdier feel!

It is a medium weight yarn but works up very sturdy when held together two skeins at a time for this basket.
