[blehmfam]

Very nicely done! It was very clear and self explanatory and I enjoyed the music! Thanks

[goodsandlapper]

Thank you for posting this video. I love my Kumi Loom so much that I bought one for my daughter. Looking forward to braiding with the beads.

[sweetstampen]

so wish I could find directions for BEGINNING.... How long are the cords, how many beads??? etc

[craftycrafter]

@sweetstampen All that information is in the videos

[MinervalLily]

Thank you so much :D

[vivarose]

What is the cord/thread size that you are using? I imagine that its at least "bugtail"/0.5mm right?

[craftycrafter]

@vivarose For this one, the thread is doubled strands of embroidery floss.

Interesting technique!

[thepamification]

Thank you so much for your quick response and your wonderful videos!!!

[thepamification]

before you start the braiding, do the strings have to be arranged a certain way ?

[craftycrafter]

@thepamification Check the first video for starting, it's really straightforward

[meemaw005]

Where can you purchase the empty bobbins?

[Beadaholique]

@meemaw005 Beadaholique sells them. Search 'No Tangle Flexible Plastic Thread Bobbins'

I have tried this. It's wonderful. I have yet to try with beads. How do lengthen the cord? What is the length of string or wire that I need to take to make a bracelet or a necklace? I need help...

[craftwich]

brilliant, easy to follow instructions, thank you

[mojiganga2]

i fell asleep with that music... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. great video though

[duckletshut]

[WildAngel3]

Wonderful, clear directions, thank you. And I absolutely appreciate that no matter what the language of the watcher, they would be able to follow these instructions.

how do you start a braid with the kumihimo disk??

[LyssaRenne]

@allpurerandomstyle If you start with the 8, you put 2 colors up top, to the left, to the right, and the bottom. then you take the Left string at the bottom and take it and pull it to the left top. You should have 3 at the top. Now take the right string at the top and pull it to the bottom next to the single string, on the right side of it. And keep repeating.

@LyssaRenne Hey, thanks :P

[TheCreativeJeweler]

Excellent video! Very clearly explained! I love the look of beads incorporated into Kumihimo. Adds interest and sparkle.

[Kisis3]

Thank you for this video. I was wondering how to add beads.

[alibl]

another GREAT tutorial, thanks!

[chocolateknits]

good close-ups on where to place the bead in the braid. thanks!

[CandyLV72]

WOW! what if you wanted to make a solid bead cord, not seeing the thread? I have tried the 8 strand with beads on each strand but it doesn't seem right adding a bead on each turn

[ddrladydotcom]

I learned Kumihimo years ago and wondered how to add beads. Your video was very helpful.

[Threadhook]

You did a great video, I had seen the loom in a shop but had no idea how it worked. I think I may try it!

[jturner295]

Thank you for sharing this technique.  I bought my loom while traveling & was unable to attend a class on how to use it.

[33crafty]

Fantastic. I have been wondering how to place beads so they lay smoothly on a disc. Thank you so much for the demonstration!!
