Each die has multiple openings to produce several strips at a time, speeding basket production.
Extrusion Dimensions: Each extrusion is 1/4" by 3/4", 1", or 1 1/4" wide.
Die Dimensions: Each die is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 1/4" thick.

If you happen to also have a 2" handheld extruder, you might find these basket weave dies for 2" extruders useful. With them, you can practice weaving baskets without cleaning the large extruder.
