The Byler Family from Lamoni, IA is a wonderful family that makes these baskets. Their love for their work is evident in each and every basket that they make. They are very detailed and careful in what they do.
They hand cut the basket bases with a saw, do all the finishing work and staining. Their children and grandchildren also help with the weaving as well which is heartwarming to watch.
