{"product_id":"cottontail-felted-wool-basket","title":"Cottontail Felted Wool Basket","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rabbit sitting very still, with her ears straight up and a heart for a nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is the decision that makes her. A felted animal's nose is almost always a triangle — it is the quick, obvious shape. Hers is a small pink heart worked in satin stitch, with a line dropping from its point into a wide, gentle smile. It takes longer and it changes the whole face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer ears are the other piece of real work. They stand a full hand high and they stay up, which means they have to be felted dense enough to hold their own weight without a wire inside them. A floppy ear would have been easier and it would have been a different rabbit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo paws rest on the front rim with their claws stitched in black, and there is a round tail bobble round the back that you find later. Her fleece is left undyed, the natural cream of the wool, with only the ear linings dyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Easter she is the basket — deep enough for a serious haul, light enough for a toddler to carry, and a great deal better in a photograph than anything plastic. The rest of the year she holds hair clips, small toys, bath things, or sits on a shelf doing nothing in particular. The handle is firm enough to hang her from a hook or a doorknob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen at the top and unlined, the same soft wool inside as out. Made from New Zealand wool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carding House Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51579086667943,"sku":"CHC-BSK-F-003","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/5535\/2231\/files\/00_72f6e6f1-fb3d-4120-93cd-0fdf3c479ca3.jpg?v=1792575502","url":"https:\/\/cardinghouse.co\/products\/cottontail-felted-wool-basket","provider":"Carding House Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
