Fine Kumihimo Braids for those Special Pieces
Have a vintage pendant that needs a beautiful fine braid?
I'm often asked to make 3mm braids for extra special pieces. Here is a guide that may be of help when you're asked the question.
| Silk | Braid Pattern | No of Warps | No Threads per Warp | Price per Skein/package |
| Exotic Lights | Round 4 | 4 | 1 | $6.80 |
| Ophir | Round 8 | 8 | 1 | $6.60 |
|
Kumihimo Silk |
Round 8 | 8 | 6 | $15.00 |
| Kumihimo Synthetic Silk | Round 8 | 8 | 6 | $7.50 |
Check out all the fabulous colours available.
I start these braids with a plaited loop and finish with a Japanese knot, rather than using end caps. Of course you may prefer to use the new 4mm End Caps now in stock.
Keep an eye out! I'll do a tutorial on these in my next Kumi Kapers newsletter.
Happy Braiding,
Beth
