Creel is a type of small wicker or osier basket.

A creel is mostly used as a fisherman's basket, holding fish or other seafood catches (such as mollusks or crustaceans).

There is also a "spinning" creel, which is a bar or set of bars used to spin wool into thread.

Another type of creel is the Turf Creel. Traditionally used in the west of Ireland, there are a variety of styles and sizes. These creels were commonly used for carrying peat fuel by hand and also by pony or donkey.
