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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45320942092439,"sku":"9780764351037","price":2912.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780764351037.webp?v=1769288538","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/andean-sling-braids-9780764351037","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
