Blue Sky Zulu Telephone Wire Baskets

Country of Origin
South Africa
Siggi and Egmund Dedekind own a farm in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Concerned by rampant unemployment among their Zulu neighbors, the Dedekinds formed a small crafting cooperative to provide jobs for the unemployed and to revive fading Zulu crafting traditions.
Using a weaving pattern learned from an aging Zulu woman some 100 miles away, more than 200 Zulu men and women are now earning supplemental income by crafting baskets from colorful telephone wire.

These calming "blue sky" patterned baskets are available in seven different shapes and sizes.
