Hi there! My name is Heather and I am the owner and chief sewist here at Wild Carrot Cordage. Although I originally began making rope baskets because I wanted to create handmade Christmas gifts for friends and family, I quickly realized that it took quite a bit of skill and work to make the rope behave the way I wanted. After much practice, I ended up with more baskets than I knew what to do with! When a friend suggested I sell them at a local gift shop in 2016, my little artistic endeavor soon evolved into a full-on, creative small business.
At Wild Carrot Cordage, simplicity is our reason to be. Everything we make begins with a simple, beautiful design. We work exclusively with natural-fiber ropes such as cotton and hemp, adding only minimal color accents. We often find inspiration from Amish simplicity and modern Scandinavian decor. We hope you love our baskets as much as we do!
Hello! I'm the one who does all the things around here - from product design and sewing, to order fulfillment and mailing, and even marketing and website management.
Did you know that Wild Carrot is another name for Queen Anne's Lace? Neither did we until we started contemplating business names. Take a look at our logo to see a stylized version of this beautiful wildflower.
We are all about simplicity here -- but not at the expense of beautiful, functional design.
