I've ordered what I thought were silicone #kumihimo bobbins but those are hard plastic bobbins for some old Singer sewing machines, just look really similar. Meanwhile I realized that a simple cardboard shape would work just as well.
Not easy to cut out, so I also 3d printed one. Plastic slit hold less than cardboard but using both slits, it works fine.
I have transferred all 8 sewing bobbins of thin yarn to these cards and am ready to start #braiding :)

“Japan is home the original #art of #braiding known as #kumihimo that got its start in the Asuka and Nara Periods (538-794CE) and continues to be in use to the present day. With the use of multicolored #threads, a single kumihimo cord takes quite some time to produce, yet it has never played a leading role in the world of traditional #handicrafts. Rather it served as an essential decoration, an accessory which has always served to add a splash of color to #Japanese culture.”

I've seen #kumihimo #braiding before but weaving is more interesting to me, I like braiding by hand and what would I do with those cords? Well, weaving has more involved setup and needs more light, I found that braiding thin yarns hurts my pinkies because they have to be bent out of the way the whole time. And, I can braid candle wicks 😎 And also can print the tool easily if I'm lucky to have 1.5h of power straight. So welcome to the flock of my hobbies 😉 #KyivPowerCut
