Equipment for Kumihimo: Japanese Braiding
Because we do the work ourselves we can usually respond to requests for lighter bobbins, heavier bobbins, or matching lost or missing bobbins. We can make marudais & bobbins of various wood types & legs of various heights (but we recommend the standard 40 cm/16" height.) The marudais come apart for easy transport. |
