SynopsisAn introduction to the ancient art of Japanese silk braiding. The book contains a variety of elegant and complex braids, which can be used as decoration, tie-backs for curtains, or jewellery. It also offers instructions for making 12 different braids.
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.
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.
