Welcome, Artists! In this video, you’ll discover:
Making Your Kumihimo Disc: I’ll guide you through the materials you'll need and provide a step-by-step process to create your very own Kumihimo disc, the vital tool for this craft.
Weaving Techniques: Join me as I demonstrate how to weave a stunning 8-thread Kumihimo pattern. You’ll learn valuable tips and tricks to elevate your Kumihimo skills along the way!
Pausing Your Project: I’ll share how to pause your Kumihimo weaving, allowing you to come back to it later with ease.
A special thank you to @cassiestephens6715 for the incredible weaving tutorial that inspired me to bring this Kumihimo technique to all of you! I’d also like to express my gratitude to the @ncartmuseum for showcasing the amazing samurai exhibit that continues to inspire us.
Let’s embark on this creative journey together as we create our Kumihimo disc and start weaving! You’ll need a cardboard circle, 8 threads of yarn (4 of one color and 4 of another), and a good dose of patience. I’ll show you how to make the disc, thread it, weave, and even pause your project for later.
