Large Kumihimo Disk

Description

This large Kumihimo Disk is 6 inches (15cm) in diameter and made of 20mm dense foam. There are 64 slots around the circumference of the disk and the central hole measures 35mm. The 64 numbered positions on this disk allow for the more complex patterns available. Some customers prefer the larger disc because they find it easier to hold and to use.

The size of the disk makes no difference to the size of the braid. The size is down to the number of threads used. If you are using 8 threads for your braid then the weave will come out the same size regardless of which disk you use.

The disk creates a rounded braid and is a bit easier to use than the smaller size if you are using a lot of threads. This tool is sturdy & will hold the threads firmly as you braid, it’s also portable so you can easily take your projects almost anywhere. Our range of satin cord is perfect for use with this item.

We also have kumihimo bobbins available for controlling your threads as the basic weave uses 8 threads! and for those who like a consistent tension in their weave we have two weights that can be hooked to the weave once it is started. You can use the bobbins as a weight for a consistent tension the weave but you can get heavier weights. There is a 45g weight and a 90g weight. Please see our small range of glue on ends to attach your kumihimo braid to a clasp set.
