I love kumihimo, I’ve been doing it for about 15 years. I’ve started using a marudai rather than the small discs. The limit of the patterns is endless. I make kids ones and do Elmo, Mickey Mouse etc patterns, even Christmas patterns. I’m obsessed with anything Japanese.
I love this I learnt it when I was ill, something to pass the time. Then I was introduced adding beads to the threads. Pain threading the 8 threads with 1000+ beads . Just loved it . I use baking beads in a bag for different weights with the different threads.
How do you finish them? The video is great for demo but you need to show what you do with those big knots at the ends and what you use to finish them off please
This looks like a really interesting craft to try. I need to use up all my macreme cord since I'm finding macreme really frustrating. I would like to make a belt and a new purse strap. But darn, you didn't show us how you attach the two ends.
The link for the bobbins are for sewing thread not the ones you use. 😮. Edit: I feel it would be easier too follow up if you used the alpha and number references.
