Kumihimo: Japanese Braiding DVD

With R. Owen

Presented by Rodrick Owen. Rodrick begins by introducing you to yarns, tools, and equipment, then reviews the process for making a braiding stand (Maru Dai) from foamboard, which allows you to get started quickly with very little investment in equipment. You will learn how to read pattern layout diagrams as you prepare four separate warps, each with a different end treatment: tassel end, finger point end, braided loop end, and wrapped loop end. You will learn how to read and follow braiding diagrams as you work four different braiding projects: 8-strand spiral braid, 8-strand square braid, 8-strand hollow braid, and 8-strand flat braid. Steaming and finishing techniques are also included. Rodrick inspires you with works of international braiders.

115 minutes.
