Traditional Willow Creels Willow creels were an important part of crofting life. Used for carrying virtually everything ... peats, seaweed, potatoes, manure... Many crofters made their own creels in the winter from carefully protected willow trees. I make my creels to a traditional Hebridean size and design. They are 15" deep. £75 including post and packing
Instructions for making a Traditional Creel This document is a record of the techniques used by Donald Macarthur of Shawbost, Isle of Lewis as taught to students at his creel making classes at Uig. Uig and Bernera Learning Association with aid from the Gaelic Education Fund commissioned me to record Donald's teachings. The document has photographs illustrating various stages of the process and details the procedure, so takes a few minutes to download on a slow internet connection. (2MB).
