How to Use

Assemble the Marudai stand following the picture guide included in the package.
Cut your threads or cords to equal lengths and tie them together at the centre.

Braid by moving threads from slot to slot in your desired sequence.
Continue until your braid reaches the desired length, then tie off and finish!

Great for All Skill Levels

The Kumihimo technique is a meditative, rewarding craft that produces round, flat, or spiral braids depending on the pattern you choose. This desktop Marudai stand keeps the disc elevated so the braid hangs freely beneath it — exactly as traditional Marudai looms are used — making the entire process smooth and enjoyable.
