 Brown Bag Baskets: Brown Bags is a fairly new program we started last year. We started by offering it to local weavers and newsletter subscribers. It has grown and weavers love it!  Brown Bag Baskets (also known as B.B.B.) is a six month program. You will receive a new basket kit once a month for six months. The baskets are new designs available only to those registered for the B.B.B.  The price of the kits range from $21.99 to 35.99. The kits will be hidden in brown bags! Sort of a mystery basket!  Weavers love to be able to grab a kit and sit down and weave without messing with all the preparation! All material is included in the kits and the spokes are cut!                                         

  The next Brown Bag will start in January! Remember the only way to get a brown bag is if you sign up for it by January 20th. These are all new patterns that will not be available to purchase until the six months of Brown Bags is complete! Call the store to register or for more information. Please cal 281-288-7332.
