Class name, Kumihimo Eight Strand Spiral Braid Bracelet


Craft type, kumihimo

Instructor,  <mailto:catherine5515 at hotmail.com> Cathy F

Class format, zoom/email

Class date, Monday, November 14

Class time, noon Eastern

Sign up deadline, November 4

 


Class description: 


In this zoom and email class, use your Kumiloom to create this 8-strand,
2-colored spiral braid. Use red and white stripes for the holiday, orange
and black for Halloween, or your school's or favorite team's colors or
whatever you would prefer. Unlike the 7-strand braid which had one color
showing more than the other, this braid has an equal two-colored striped
spiral pattern. Though this braid has more strands the pattern is not
difficult.

 


Skills needed: 


You have taken at least one Kumihimo class, so are familiar with setting up
the loom.
