Kumihimo!

Last night was the monthly meeting of the Regina Weaver and Spinner Guild.  It was a great meeting!  After the business portion of the meeting, we had a guest speaker who taught us how to do a Japanese braiding technique, kumihimo.

Kumihimo is done using a disk


and your floss (yarn, or whatever you want to use) wound onto bobbins


and by simply crossing the bobbins across the disk, you end up with a lovely cord.


So much fun!
