So funny. . .I just took a kumihimo class on Monday and this is the second mention of it I’ve seen today. Cool.
Have been working on this beautiful coral neckless,just started kumihimo several weeks ago.Just love it. Unlimited what can be made with kumihimo and beads.The feel of this neckless is wonderful.I will wear it to Kauai in October.Thank you for this inspiration.
does anyone have a safe way to finish a kumiloom dog lead? I have been starting the brad using a metal o-ring, but the end the person holds does not seem strong enough when just glue is used.
thanks for your help

Hi Judy-
We used thread to tie off the ends of our kumihimo braids, but we’re not sure if this would be secure enough if your dog is pulling on the braid. I guess it depends on how big your dog is! We would recommend making something stronger to hold your pooch 🙂
