Hi Pru have just found this great page with so many of your free demos. I first saw you demonstrate when you were a Guest Designer on JM and gave us all different ways to Kumihimo. I have done a few bracelets with the seed beads but you are now introducing us to the toggle fastening and loop along with the jewel nuggets of which I have quite a few. So now Pru I would like to thank you for giving your time and showing us so many ways on how to use the Kumihimo disk on youtube.x

Greetings from Massachusetts USA! I found your tutorial using only 2 cords of rat-tail and made a lead (leash) for one of my dogs that I show in conformation (AKC) similar to your Crufts show in the UK! With this tutorial I now learned how to use one of the cords to make the loop! Would love to see a tutorial how to use 2 cords, but using 3 colors (red, white, and blue), and how to make a loop at the other end of the lead (leash) so that the 4 cords don't tangle when I tie them. Also, I am not familiar with the type "thread" or whatever it is that you are using to make your "binding." Might know know what we in the USA should be looking for? Thank you for you wonderful tutorials! I've had my Kumihimo disk for 4 years and after finding your tutorials, I finally understand how to work it!

For the binding, what size SLon was that? Sorry, I’m a novice, and there is quite a variety of the C-lons, S-lons, etc. - I love these cords. the color palettes are wide and subtle, like a painter’s 🤙.

@Prumihimo 3 жыл бұрын

You can use any strong thread or cord for the binding. As most braiders have S-Lon 0.5mm/Tex210 to hand that is a good choice.

Hi Pru. I find all of your tutorials so informative, inspirational & interesting! I recently took my kumihimo on holiday to teach my 11 year old niece whilst there. We got a great deal of onlookers when we were weaving on the disks whilst around the pool, in the bar and even on the aeroplane! I gave a couple of ladies your web address for them to look you up! Thanks for all the wonderful designs & ideas. My niece made a very 'interesting' cord whilst learning tension! It is about a metre in length as we started with 3 arm lengths of thread. I have no idea what to make for her with it or should I cut it and glue into kumihimo end findings?! Any advice would be appreciated! 🦋

@Prumihimo 7 жыл бұрын

It is great to hear how you are passing on the word. For your neice I think it would be good to use her first braid with glue-in findings because they give a really professional look. For future braids I would suggest that she uses a method like this one because it takes away the need for expensive extras. Instead of the toggle she could use a button with a shank.

@sherrywortman2267 7 жыл бұрын

Typically we're told to multiply our finished size by 3 or 4 to calculate our cord lengths. Not exactly sure which I should use. With your disk is there a formula to figure out cord length? I've did a practice piece and added beads in different spots to get a feel for how they would look. I can't wait to start my first real piece. It seems to work up fast. I also noticed that the satin cord gave the cord it's color but the thinner cord seems to give the rope some shimmer of a second color. I really like the finished look. I started with a gray 1.5mm cord and a beading cord that was a brown camouflage color. It's what I had in hand. But it was really pretty. 2 plain boring Coles turned out a very pretty cord that I'd wear for sure. Thank for you your design and instructions. I'm loving the prumihimo. :)

@Prumihimo 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Sherry. It is great to hear that you are having fun and success with the Prumihimo disk. I always recommend 3x for all the cords. This is usually generous, but it is better to have too much because it is not possible to add extra cord when you are using this disk. In some designs, such as this video, you may need to fold the cords in half so you need to have double this amount of cord, but only half as many cords.

@sherrywortman2267 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for the reply. I was just about to wing it and give it a try. At least now I won't waste too much cord. I'll have to jump over to your FB page and show you what I created when I'm done. :)

Hello Pru, I contacted you a little while ago regarding using this bracelet technique the loop and toggle, so I can show my great grandchildren when they come from America soon, but one more question, with this method with doubling method for the cord, how do you make the correct length for a bracelet ?. Hope you can reply as soon as possible , as I want to make this method myself before they arrive next Tuesday. Regards Patricia Taplin.

@Prumihimo 6 жыл бұрын

The way to think about it is that you need 3 times the finished length for each individual cord, so if you are folding the cords you need half as many cords of twice the length. Have fun!

Instead of using a fabric loop at the start, could you put one cord through the loop of the circle toggle loop. Then use the toggle bar on the other end tte way you show it.
