Basket weaving (also basketry, basket making, or basketmaking) is the process of weaving unspun vegetable fibers into a basket or other similar form. Basketry is made from a variety of fibrous or pliable materials—anything that will bend and form a shape. Examples include pine straw, animal hair, hide, grasses, thread, and wood. People who weave baskets are called basketmakers. They may do this as a profession or a hobby, and their work may be considered a craft or an art. The aboriginal tribes are famous for their coloured basket-weaving techniques. To achieve a multi-coloured effect they first dye the twine and then weave the twines together in the most elaborate fashion possible. These baskets may then be traded for goods but may also be used for religious ceremonies.
