A good basket begins as a conversation between upright stakes and the willow that travels around them. Withy turns that quiet workshop rhythm into a warm pocket field book, where craft knowledge sits beside the record of things made by hand. Kraft-paper surfaces, loam-brown ink, and repeating weave marks give every screen the tactility of a maker’s notebook.
The Weave Bench lets you choose stake count, rod thickness, material, and one of five authentic structures, then lays out the repeat and calculates the weaver length, joins, and likely weak points. A Willow Shelf explains harvesting, soaking, grading, and traditional patterns; the Basket Log keeps dimensions, hours, notes, and a photograph of each finished piece. A compact glossary, favourites, theme control, and practical workshop reminders keep the app useful from first cut to final border, entirely offline.
