Grassy Creek Brooms takes you back in time, reflecting a structure and design descended from the Shaker and Puritan eras. Using non-mechanized tools from the past century, each hand tied broom is an original. The cabin broom is one of the oldest styles of American brooms. Makes a very useful sweep as well as contributing colonial charm to the fireside. Approximately 45 inches in length.  Handles are native Sassafras saplings.  The sweep, made with #1 hurl, is wired to the sassafras handle for strength and durability. The wire is then covered with broomcorn stalks and jute in a weaving pattern called plaiting.  Useful tool or lovely decorative accessory.  Just the right size for a little helper.
