Have already tried three of the braid types included. Have used more of the book than expected. The book uses silk or an imitation silk called Biron in the projects, and mostly in 20 strand warps. Have adapted to using 3-ply S-Lon #18 (nylon) for some much finer items. This tends to produce a braid that is not quite as smooth though acceptable. One other comment is that the book is based on using the professional marudai or loom for the projects. Have adapted the technique to using one of the foam kumihimo disks. The marudai would probably allow you to work about twice as fast since you can use both hands at once on the braid itself, and would probably give the best result possible because of the more consistent tension inherent in it's use. It's definitely the tool to use if you plan on making this a serious hobby or being a professional. With the disk, one hand has to hold it and that slows things considerably. One plus with a disk is portability. Am finding that the disk rate is maybe 4-6" of braid per hour, considering myself an average worker. After using this book, can appreciate how braids turned into bracelets or necklaces and other items can produce unique and valuable pieces.It's very useful that in a given braid, the author shows different starting colors and positions, and photos of what the finished product will look like.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.Nice for your shelfBy CantripIt covers the craft very well. More intense then I expected. But in all it is a nice book to have on the shelf for reference to making different patterns as well as to get ideas on their use. I feel it is for the advanced people more then a beginner.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.Excellent, but wish it had info on using foam loomsBy r6dLovely photos of the different type of braids. If I had a wish, it would be to have a chapter on using foam looms. This book show show to use the Marudai. () which is the traditional method. I recommend it highly to see the tremendous amount of variations possible by color choices and positions, types of threads/yarns and the varied braiding patterns.See all 72 customer reviews...
