I try to supply willow colours as close as possible to the natural colours illustrated in the photos above, give or take slight variation in natural willow bark. Whilst the colours shouldn't be dramatically different, please allow for some variations in natural willow colours and peeled white willow. The willow colours may be arranged slightly differently in the basket from the illustrative photo depending on the suitability of the willow available at the time of ordering.
