This book looks at braiding on a marudai (round stand), which is the most popular and versatile piece of equipment in use today. Working with a traditional marudai is a delightful experience. This piece of equipment is aesthetic in appearance, feel and sound, and the gentle rhythm of the repeated moves has a soothing quality. Easy-to-make alternative equipment makes Kumihimo an accessible craft and allows anyone to have a go. This book sets out to demonstrate that Kumihimo does not have to be complicated to be beautiful. In this book, just six sets of moves are shown, each one creating a distinct type of braid. SQUARE BRAID ROUND BRAID FLAT BRAID From these basic moves, countless variations can be created by using different combinations of colour, texture and material. HONEYCOMB BRAID HOLLOW BRAID ROUNDED FLAT BRAID Intricately woven silken braids and tassels can be used to complement all kinds of accessories, soft furnishings, clothing and textiles. Colours and textures can be mixed and matched to create a stylish and unique finish to curtains, cushions, bags and many more items; special finishing techniques can add individuality to a plain or patterned background.
