Sixty Sensational Samples
by Shirley Berlin and Carol Goodwin
This inspiring collection brings together sixty kumihimo braids selected from ten years of international sample exchanges. Created by forty-two braiders from around the world, each project includes complete braiding instructions along with comments from both the maker and the editors.
The book is organized into eight chapters covering Elegant Braids, Intriguing Structure, Use of Color, Unusual Materials, Useful Braids, Braids with Beads, Variations on a Theme: Kongo Gumi, and Variations on a Theme: Kara Uchi Gumi.
Originally published in 2004, the appendices remain a valuable resource, with information on exchange groups, improvised equipment, threads, sources, equipment, and recommended reading.
