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. £70 (postage may be by carrier dependant on area)
