Kumihimo means the coming togethe r or gathering of threads in Japanese (Kumi=braid\, Himo=cord). Kumihimo i s a very enjoyable\, portable craft\, and a great stash buster with endles s ways to braid using multiple cords (up to 32). The practice of cording i s very mindful\, and a great way to calm your system and relieve stress. A braid pattern will look vastly different depending on your fiber choice\, use of beads\, or lack of beads. Using more threads\, varied shapes\, si zes of beads\, types and size of fibers\, or changing the thread direction as you move across the loom can make for endless design possibilities. Wh en braiding on a Kumhimo\, you are working on a round disk that has a cent er hole. Single fibers are held on floating bobbins around the perimeter o f the disk. The cord is formed down in the center hole. In the center wher e the threads gather\, a weight is attached to keep the cord taut and even . Different weights and weight positions help maintain the evenness of the braid. For this class\, we will be using 8 specialized nylon cords and co ordinating beads to make a beautiful braided necklace with beads.. This b raid can be made even by a beginner.
\n\nWe will cover h ow to braid a round braid on a round disk using 8 cords and beads. We will also cover finishing techniques and closures. For this class\, students are required to purchase a kit\, which includes all the tools: a sustaina ble wooden disk\,8 bobbins and a coated weight\, one color special nylon thread with coordinating beads\, as well as the end caps and a clasp need ed to complete the project. After taking this class\, you will not only l eave with a finished necklace\, and new technical skills but you will own your own complete set of tools to continue exploring this fun craft\, usin g your own fiber stash and more.
\n\nI will demo braiding using the handheld portable disk (found in your kit)\, but I will also sh ow how to use a rotating Marudai beading table stand. Students can visit o ur website @www.capobiancodesigns if they wish to purchase a Marudia stand \, miniature yarn bowls\, an array of ceramic decorative weights\, larger Kumihimo disks up to 11' for chunky fibers and an array of other fiber too ls.
