Thank you so very much for all your wonderful teaching and tips Pru. I started Kumihimo 8 years ago and learned the basics from you. Busy work and life caused me to not do much in the past 5 years however, a terminal diagnosis last year has me delving back into all my crafts again! 😁 A friend from England asked if I could make a necklace with the 3 colours of the British flag and I was stuck as I only know 4-cord braiding. Once again you've come to my rescue and given both of us a lot of joy - thank you so very much! your huge fan, Linda from Vancouver (Chilliwack) BC, Canada

I recently started with weaving. English is not so good, but the way you speak and explain makes it very easy to understand everything even without using subtitles. Thanks, all superbly executed.

Pru - great new braid! It saves cord and gives a nice pattern. I tried to make using a .5mm paracord and it was uneven so I used 1.5 mousetail and it came out just fine. It maybe that it needs a wider cord to work well. Thank you again for a great project.

That is very interesting. Perhaps it need something slippery, or perhaps a slightly heavier weight.

Great idea. I will put some thought into it. It takes a while to plan, make samples and film a video, so don’t expect it immediately, but I will get onto it!

Ok did not get this the first time watching. But thats because I had not watched your 8 cord first. I would highly recommend anyone to watch that one first. I then understood that you are not moving / turning the disk just the cord. Love using less cord. Thanks so very much

thanks for this one - am going to try it braiding around memory wire as this looks like an easier way to wrap - less frustrating than the eight!

With fewer cords to keep under control I think you might be right! Let me know how you get on.

Omg! Don’t know if it is my senior moment, but I had to do this at least 10x before finishing one! It’s so nice once it’s done. Got confused between the clock wise and counterclockwise landing.😣

How can i braid it around a core? Is it something like the Round Braind around a core?

@Michelle-uy7iu 2 жыл бұрын

Enjoy your videos very informative, I’ve watched many as I’m new to kumihimo braiding. One question , I do the hollow braid with 16 cords and do not have to replace my cords to the starting point. The braid comes out great, but everyone I seen on KZfaq calls for repositioning them to the starting spot. What am I doing wrong??? BTW Thank You for doing your videos!!!

Hi Pru, can you do this braid with beads?

@jacquiegaskin4311 2 жыл бұрын

I guess I have to try again. Two cords was thicker than the other 4 & I didn't like how the outcome looked. Will try again with all cords uniformly sized. Also I used bobbins & they kept tangling around the weight.

@bogus_not_me 10 ай бұрын

If I were to put something in tge. Enter to keep it hollow, does it have to stay inside or can it be removed? And will the braid remain hollow?

@yayoineko 4 жыл бұрын

I really enjoy your videos and have learned to braid various strands, thanks to your videos. I have a question: When I get near the end of the braid, about 2 (more or less) of the strands are much shorter than the rest of the strands, even though I started with equal lengths. Is this suppose to happen?

@Prumihimo 4 жыл бұрын

This does tend to happen with most types of braid and it does not mean that you have done anything wrong. When there are tiny differences in how firmly you pull on each cord they can add up to quite a big difference by the end of the braid. Getting a good rhythm going and keeping your disk flat are ways to minimise this, but it is not reall something to worry about!

@edensaquaponics1941 4 жыл бұрын

Is it really necessary to continually return the cords at the 4 and 8 o’clock positions to their start positions after each sequence of moves? Surely the 3 clockwise moves can be done in any order, as long as they are completed before the anti clockwise moves. Therefore you could effectively rotate the disk 120º between each sequence and maintain gaps of 0, 2, and 4 slots between the pairs of cords.

@jaydeekaybee 4 жыл бұрын

I just started to experiment with this, by just moving the furthest strand (the red) strand and moving it to the "far" side of the strands, then taking the strand on the "far side" of the strand I just moved, and I kept moving it to the "far side" of the strands, eventually making it so the far strand was on the opposite side of where the red one started. It was a whole lot easier than what she was trying to describe imo.

@rexcampbell3137 3 жыл бұрын

This is really cool. If I want to make a 15 foot piece of 6 strand braid, how long does each individual stand need to be?

@MarsOneBeatz 3 жыл бұрын

in general, I've heard the rule is to use 3x the length of cord as you desire your braided cord to be, so 45 ft in your case.

@AFidianti 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the tutorial, but did you try this pattern with beads..

@Prumihimo 5 жыл бұрын

This is not an easy braid to use with beads on the foam disk. It can be done with continuous strands of beads and this is best done on the traditional braiding stand, the marudai. The best braids for beads are Round Braid/Kongo Gumi or the braid made on the Prumihimo disk.
