Question 1

Does a liner come with the basket?

Accepted Answer

No. Liners are optional and sold separately, so a basket does not include one unless you add it. Many baskets offer their matching liner right on the basket’s own page, so if you added it there you do not need to order it again here.

Question 2

Will this liner fit my basket?

Accepted Answer

Each liner is sewn to fit one particular basket, so they are not interchangeable between sizes and shapes. The basket this one is made for is named on this page. If you already own the basket, go by its outside measurements rather than the name it was sold under, since sizes and names have changed over the years.

Question 3

What is the liner made of, and can I wash it?

Accepted Answer

It is 100% preshrunk cotton broadcloth, the same material the Amish ladies use to make their own dresses. There is no plastic in it. Machine wash on the delicate setting in cold water, then air dry or use a cool dryer setting, and it should not shrink more than about 2 to 3 percent.

Question 4

Can I get a liner for a basket I already own?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. The ladies here sew custom size liners for rectangle baskets to the outside length, width, and height you enter. A custom sewn liner cannot be returned, since it is made to your size alone, so email us first if you would like a hand with the measurements.

Question 5

How does the liner stay in the basket?

Accepted Answer

Some liners have bonnet ties sewn on, and others have elastic around the top that holds the liner all the way around the basket. Either way it lifts right out when it is time to wash it. If this page does not say which one it has, email us and we will check for you.
