40 slot disk for Kumihimo. Size: 6 inches.Quantity: 1 square disk. Cord and braids are not included in purchase.
The Beadsmith Kumihimo Japanese braiding disk is made of 3/8 inch dense foam. Plate is 6 inches square. The sturdy disk has 40 slots. It holds threads/cords firmly. You can make round, square, even flat braids on the round disk.
Kumihimo braiding is not difficult to learn. The disk is great for beginner braiders and experienced braiders will love the portability. The disk comes with illustrated instructions for 8 warp(your cords) round and flat braid structures and a 10 warp flat braid. The instructions also include instructions for 3 projects and finishing instructions.
To get started you will also need some cord. Bobbins are useful for preventing tangling of threads and cords but are not required. By choosing different diameter cords, you can vary the thickness or width of your final braid. As a rough estimate for an 8 warp braid, plan on 2-3 times the length of your final braid for each warp. For example, if you want an 18 inch finished braid, cut each cord to 54 inches (18x3=54). The thinner your thread or cord, the less starting length you need, the thicker ...the longer. For example, thin thread may only need 1.5 times the length, thick cord may need more than 3 times. How tight you make your braid, can also affect your finished length.
You can use different thread for every warp but I recommend starting with all the same diameter cord on your first couple braids.
While not absolutely necessary, Bob-EEZ No Tangle Bobbins can help keep your threads/cords under control while you are braiding. You can find the bobbins in my shop.
