The Book of Braids: A New Approach to Creating Kumihimo
by Jacqui Carey
Although suitable for a determined beginner, this book is designed primarily for braiders who already have a basic understanding of kumihimo. Jacqui Carey introduces a shorthand notation system that makes complex sequences easier to document, memorize, and understand, particularly when working with a large number of Tama.
Full-color illustrations demonstrate how color placement and variations in thread size can change the appearance of a braid. The book also explores fundamental moves, methods for expanding braid structures, combining moves from different structures, mixing materials, equipment, and ways to use finished braids.
