Caring for your willow basket
Your basket should last a long time. The most important thing is to keep it somewhere dry. If mould appears, you can gently scrub it off with soapy water and then brush with a weak vinegar solution. If you think the willow has dried over time out, you can brush on a small amount of linseed oil and this can restore the appearance of the bark, but too much may not absorb and can be a growth medium for mould.Some baskets can be repaired. Bow handles can be replaced and I’m happy to do this. Some baskets have a foot added which can be replaced if they become worn down. More experienced makers can do more complicated repairs. Find your local basketmaker on the Scottish Basketmakers' Circle website or on the website of The Basketmakers' Association.
