Kumihimo
Oak Harbor Library
Wed. May 21, 1-3
We will be learning, from Ilene Sorenson, to weave on a kumihimo disc. Supplies needed to bring:
- a round Styrofoam disc (if you do not have one Ilene has plenty to go around).
- 8/2, or 5/2 or 3/2 cotton or embroidery floss, crochet sheen, to warp your disc, scissors,
Ilene will have warping threads as well and a pattern to follow. We will do a short warp so don’t need bobbins this time. If you have a weight with an alligator clip that will be needed.
