Just discovered your channel. Thank you for making kumihimo less intimidating! I have tried to learn in other ways and using other channels without success, but you have explained this style in a way that I understand. I really appreciate your work here.
I just love how this Sweet & Smart Woman Gives Instruction, I am her New And Loyal Fan... The Way she teaches is the best I’ve Found. Please Continue teaching... America Needs You 💁♀️
I have never seen using a stop bead in this weave and it looks a lot less cumbersome than winding it on a spool. I am definitely going to try this! Thank you!
Thanks for your videos, I love the way you teach so much! I just have one question: when I finished it seemed as if some beads were too deep inside, how do I avoid that? I didn’t notice that when I was braiding, I did make sure the beads went under the thread.
Laura Sheffield - It all depends on the size of the bead, the width of the cord, your tension and the style of bracelet and it is important to check the length of the braid as you work rather than working to a number of beads. For size 8 beads I start with about 40 beads on each cord and for size 6 beads I start with about 30.
Prumihimo Thank you for you help, I love the calming way you teach it’s very captivating. I’m going to have a go today 🙂 fingers crossed It will turn out reasonably well xx
Use a larger bead as a stop bead. After you have threaded on the beads pass through the larger bead twice in the same direction. You will be able to move this bead up and down the cord to keep the beads close to the disk and to release more cord as necessary.

Susan Lenarz - It is great for bracelet lengths of cord. For necklaces I usually use bobbins.
Thankyou for your very easy to follow tutorial
Thank you for this demonstration and the good idea of using a stop bead!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for nice videos... I just done one with beads for the first time.. I will show the finished product in a picture.
Hi Pru..It would be awesome if when you show some of your designs..the camera zooms in so we can really see the detail..
I love your videos...
Vivian Scott - thanks for the constructive criticism. I have tried to provide more close-ups on more recent videos!
Very well explained.
I am so glad you found it clear, Anuradha.

Looks good
Can I please ask how I work out how many beads I need on each cord for a bracelet ? Xxx Laura xx

I didn’t get how you stop the beads from falling when you start

There's no way you're saying 9.5mm. I even put the subtitles on. What size eslon? 😑
Какой размер бисера вы используете???
I wish I could answer this!
