Started: 12th May 2020
Finished: 8th June 2020
Pattern
All from Kemp, B. How to make 50 fabulous flat kumihimo braids, Search Press, 2016.
- Green and yellow braid is from "Peppermint Leaves Ensemble", pp. 40-41
- Blue and yellow twisted braid is from "Grapevine Choker", pp. 48-49
- Green, yellow and blue braid is from "Golden Dreams Necklace", pp. 50-51
Materials
Using braiding equipment all bought from Mulberry Dyers at the Medieval Market at University of Leeds over the years.
Thread is naturally dyed DK wool from Mulberry Dyers in two shades of blue, one of green, and one of yellow.
Notes
Particularly enjoyed making the first two braids. Ended up making about 2 metres of the green and yellow braid. Very meditative once you get going.
Found the wider braid harder to tension and the end result is rather uneven - needs more practice!
