Learn to make the decorative braids used in the sling-making
traditions of Peru and Bolivia; this detailed guide, including 400+
step-by-step photos plus hundreds of diagrams, teaches the
technique and over 100 designs for weavers, craftspeople, jewelry
designers, basket weavers, and others interested in using braids
for embellishment. In-depth instructions are given, along with
clear diagrams; recommended braiding yarns for slings and kumihimo;
detailed set-up instructions; and many fascinating contemporary
applications. This book introduces a new piece of equipment, the
core frame, and gives instructions for making it from wood and
dowels. When the core frame is used with a braiding stand and
bobbins, a wide variety of core-carrying braids become accessible
to kumihimo braiders. Most of the braids, from 4 to 40 strands, can
be made on the included 32-slot braiding card designed specifically
for Andean braiding, and 50 patterns can be made on the stand
without a frame.
