  • Great Reference to Traditional Kumihimo Braids and Looms

    This may be an old title, but so far it's the best I've found with clear, understandable directions. Also, this book references use of a wooden loom, which is what I've been looking for. Most books I've found just cover using the plastic disks for friendship bracelets, without much depth. I found this title an excellent resource.

  • Kumihimo explained

    This is a good introduction to Kumihimo and it has basic 4 tama designs and more complicated 8-16 Tama designs. Clear instruction to give you a good start in the art.
