Commentary for Kelim 16:3

הַקְּנוֹנִין הַקְּטַנִּים, וְהַקְּלָתוֹת, מִשֶּׁיַּחְסֹם וִיקַנֵּב. הַקְּנוֹנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים, וְהַסּוּגִין הַגְּדוֹלִים, מִשֶּׁיַּעֲשֶׂה שְׁנֵי דוּרִים לָרֹחַב שֶׁלָּהֶם. יָם נָפָה, וּכְבָרָה, וְכַף שֶׁל מֹאזְנַיִם, מִשֶּׁיַּעֲשֶׂה דוּר אֶחָד לָרֹחַב שֶׁלָּהֶן. הַקֻּפָּה, מִשֶּׁיַּעֲשֶׂה שְׁתֵּי צְפִירוֹת לָרֹחַב שֶׁלָּהּ. וְהֶעָרָק, מִשֶּׁיַּעֲשֶׂה בוֹ צְפִירָה אֶחָת:

Small reed baskets and baskets [become susceptible to impurity] as soon as he rounds off their rims and smooths their rough ends. Large reed baskets and large hampers, as soon he makes two rows for their wide sides. The container of a sifter or a sieve and a cup of the balances, as soon as he makes one circling band for their wide sides. A willow basket, as soon as he makes two twists around its wide sides. And a rush sieve basket, as soon as he makes one twist around it.
