Kumihimo Supplies

Kumihimo loosely translates to 'gathered threads' and was used in Japan to make braids and cords to decorate sword handles and join armour plates for horses and uniforms.

Here is a truly fabulous website to read up on more info on the ancient art of Kumihimo - Oishya

Our best tip - use both arms to construct your Kumihimo - teach yourself this from the very beginning.  Your arms & shoulders will be so glad because this craft is very addictive!
