Water hyacinth is dried and twisted into cord before weaving, giving a thicker, softer surface than willow. Here it is worked over a metal framework, so the circle stays true and the mouth stays open when empty, and a grey twisted paper border finishes the rim. A fixed handle, two sizes, or both together.

Blankets, cushions, toys and clean laundry are what it holds. Little separates the sizes, so pick by the gap: the larger for a living room corner, the smaller beside a chair or a bed. Unlined, so it suits dry washing rather than a wet load.

FAQs

What is water hyacinth?

A fast-growing aquatic plant. The stems are harvested, dried and twisted into a cord, then woven. It gives a thicker, softer texture than willow, closer to rope than to cane.

Will it stay open when empty?

Yes. The weave is built onto a metal framework, so the basket keeps its round shape and open mouth whether it is full or empty. That is the difference between this and a soft woven basket that folds in on itself.

Which size should I choose?

There is only 5 cm between them across and 3 cm in height, so the choice is less about capacity than about the space. The large at 45 cm suits a living room corner for throws and cushions; the small at 40 cm fits beside a chair or in a bedroom. The set of two works as a pair.

Can I use it for laundry?

Yes, though it is unlined, so it suits clean laundry, towels or bedding better than a damp wash basket. For a laundry hamper proper, our lidded laundry baskets are the ones with washable linings.
