[Nfb-krafters-korner] Kumihimo

[minh ha]

Hi all,

Thanks for the description of this; I love anything to do with
braiding/looming so I'll definitely check it out. What kind of
material do you use for kumihimo? I thought someone mentioned
embroidery floss and I've tried that before, but the floss is so thin
that I had a hard time working with it.

recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
