About this item

  • KUMIHIMO: This is a traditional Japanese artform of making braids and cords, literally meaning “gathered threads”. Though originally started by finger loop braiding, the interlacing of yarns is now done specially designed round looms.
  • GET STARTED: This kit includes everything you need to make your first Kumihimo creation. This is a beginner kit that will teach you the basics before you confidently go on to more intricate and complex designs. Be warned, braiding is addictive, and you’ll want to experiment with different textures.
  • COMPLETE KIT: Included in this beginner kit is a round braiding disk, ZAP Jewelry Gel, 8 Bob-EEZ No-Tangle Thread Bobbins (2.25” diameter), finding & finished accessories such as toggle claps, end caps, jump rings and pendant slide, as well as a color mix of Rattail (3 yards x 4 strands of 2mm cord).
  • INSTRUCTIONS: Included is a pamphlet with instructions to create an 8-warp braid, a 16-wrap braid and whipping & finishing braid ends. In addition, there are directions for three projects: Ivy Leaf Necklace, Seahorse Necklace and Hearts Necklace. You’ll receive enough material to make an 18-inch braid.
  • THE BEADSMITH: 40 years in the making! 💎 Trusted to bring you the best quality beads, tools, and supplies. Making jewelry should be a positive experience. Let us join you in the creative journey. Our experts are here to help. Your satisfaction is important to us. Contact us with any quality issues or concerns.

5 out of 5 stars
Very Easy, would recommend
This was my first time trying kumihimo. The kit comes with a large disk, a cute storage bag, instructions, and everything you need for your first project (my completed braid is in the photo, but I have not decided how I want to use it, yet). At first I was not sure if I was doing it correctly because it was simple enough that I thought, surely, I am not doing this the right way. However, I could see after a few minutes the formation of the braid. I am really glad that I started with this kit! You will have enough chord to make a short necklace, a double wrapped bracelet, or two single bracelets (although you will need a second set of end caps and clips). I would definitely buy this again and recommend for the first-time crafter. As soon as I finished this one, I splurged on the same kit with seed beads.

Good but I had to look up a video and ask my boyfriend to help me because it was really hard to figure out on my own and came with poor instructions. Still a great starter kit to learn how to do it. Makes a thick ugly necklace but I just bought it to learn so it doesn’t matter.
Oh also my kit was missing a spool thing and the spool things had been already opened. I think my kit had been previously opened.
I still managed minus one spool thing but I will need to order more eventually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginning Kumihimo Weavers and Beaders
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014
Verified Purchase
I was introduced to Kumihimo beading through my neighborhood craft group this summer. I worked on a borrowed loom to do my first project. I really enjoyed the bracelet that the weaving produced. So then I decided to get my own loom. I ordered the kit, which included the loom as well as the necessary bobbins and other beading items. It is an excellent kit which includes initial set up instructions which are very well written and clear. if you are looking for supplies to begin this craft, I would definitely recommend this kit. It is complete and gets you going!

Wanted to try this but didn't know what to buy and didn't want to spend a lot of money. This beginners kit was perfect for me. It included everything you need to make a necklace. The instructions were confusing, for me at least, so I wrote out a small note that simplified it for me. It goes really fast and the end product was beautiful. I have now purchased some beads and cording so I can make other items. It's really fun!

Loving this kit! So easy to use and you can create so many beautiful bracelets and necklaces with it. So many recourses on youtube too to help. I’m so happy I bought it! It has everything you need to start. If you are going to add beads to you design you will need a weight clip so buy that too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Picture on box is different than what's inside the box
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021
Verified Purchase
I'm was so excited about receiving this as a gift. The biggest difference between the picture on the on the box and the inside is the cord. I did not receive much s-lon cord and they are two different sizes. The cords were stuffed inside the box all tangled. The bobbins were not in a bag but loose in the box. The bag that held the Kumihimo disc and instructions was opened. I am keeping the kit as the most important item, the disc, seems unused. I already purchased more s-lon cord, am looking for nicer findings and I plan to try it out soon. The cloth bag was nice but probably not needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3rd time is the charm with the thread bobbles yes now I have a traveler version with this purchase
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2016
Verified Purchase
What can I say this is a great tool for making braided cords. The description is exact. If you have not used it I would say go one step further and watch it on YouTube, I tell you I was like a child on Saturday morning getting a good fix on cartoons non-stop. I purchased this one and the square one and then a 3rd that was a kit that had the thread holders in it so basically this review is the same for all three as each of the Kumihimo (round and square) perform the braiding technique however the square one takes it just a few steps more when braiding. Again, best thing to do is watch them in action and THAT will make your decision for you. I am hooked and loving it while for me it shuts out the world and puts me in a "zen-like" state while creating.

I'm just getting into this craft and the kit is more than adequate. It gives clear instructions and the little weights are brilliant as they stop all tangles. Nice little pattern page too. Ideal if you are just starting out on this skill.

I love it. Very sturdy for what I need. Also, it is "keepable" for future projects, which I love, so it can continue on w/o the string included; when that string is used up. Just add more stuff for it as we go down the "line".
