Very interesting and nice learning session, thanks bro. Just one question, you did not teach us "how to end the braiding?" How to connect the loose ends and how to give a loop at the end.

Thanks for the video. I’ve been wanting to see how these are done. Thank you for giving your time to teach the videos. They are so very easy to follow

thanks. simple easy to understand.

This is great thanks

Congratulations excellent weave, I actually make a similar one for USB or dog leashes but I don't use the disk since I don't have that and I fabrics only freehand greetings from Mexico

yeah was thinking that i dont think i would need the disk although i would be way fast with the disc

Hasard je viens juste de me acheter le disques et le carré et vous faites des tuto.merci il me tarde de découvrir vos autres vidéo

do you ever show how to end the braid? how do you end a 4 stranded project or an even bigger one? 8 strands, 16 etc…?

Good idea

Great tutorial, thank you so much, how much cord do i need for the knot on the handle?

Can you show in a video how to time both ends of this knot together to make like a necklace(round circle) thanks for this video was very helpful

Por favor subtítulos en español,gracias por tus videos

Nice video

cOOl vid,where can i buy these disk at?? can i use 550 cord with theese disks TY MARK

Very very good tank's

How would u add a regular Paracord clasp? I've been just putting them on before I load my disk and they look really good but was wondering if u has a way of doing it a different way.

Thanks

Plz show the finished product including termination. 🙏🇨🇦

He’s making a series of videos. This one is the basics of the braiding itself.

Obrigada.

Me gusto mucho, me puede compartir las medidas de cada hilo, muchas gracias, excelente noche 😊

Is it possible to form a tapered braid using this method?

sorry for got to ask how long should I cut the cord to do a bracelet or necklets

I have one question how do you end it cuase that wasn't in the vidoe

When the disc is rotated, is it essential to rotate the disc in the same direction each time?

Looking forward to seeing the dog leash. Could you start the leash with a Matthew Walker knot, then attach to the kumihimo disc?

Merci

Vou fazer esse pro meu cachoro

This is an 8 strand Z-twist *kongo-gumi* (金剛組, "gumi" means braid"). To get an S-twist, do right up, left down vs left up, right down. The kongo-gumi pattern can be expanded to any additional multiple of 4 strands.

@@Paracordguild More than 30 years ago (!!!) I came across a book by Catherine Martin (Kumihimo: Japanese Silk Braiding Techniques) and thought "It would be cool to tie knots in fancy cord". Investigating how much it would cost to get a marudai was my most dramatic crafting sticker shock event as previously I had just bought a crochet hook here, a skein or roll of cheap yarn there. Nothing that cost more than a dollar or 2. Now I make my own looms and am a member of the Braid Society, etc.

Thank you for the video. It is both instructive and thorough but I'm wondering if instead of rotating anti-clockwise can it be rotated clock-wise or even a combination of both?

@Paracordguild

3 жыл бұрын

Indeed it can! Playing with patterns like that is the next level of kumihimo! You can get a spiral effect in the opposite direction or a zig-zag pattern. Both have their uses.

How to end the braid?

Would it be possible to make with this technique a closed loop with some hardware? For a camera wrist lanyard

@thepurplesmurf

3 жыл бұрын

You just finish the rope and do the loop with a simple rope whipping? If you don't know what this is, search youtube. For advanced technique you could splice a loop into the rope.

How some ropes become thick? Is it because they use more strands?

oooh, this looks fun. How tight is it in the centre? Could it be done around a core, for getback whips etc?

@Paracordguild

3 жыл бұрын

Hey! Once braided you stretch it out a bit and it is fairly tight. To make it stiffer a core would be a good idea!

Can someone tell me... if the ratio is 3.5 to 1.. if I'm doing a 3ft braid, is each leg 3.5 feet ie 7ft in total or 3.5 in total, folded... thankyou......

Mark, I knew that you'd make this understandable. Will you please suggest, or leave a link, to some kumihimo disks and plates? Alternately, the correct foam to use, so we can make our own? Thanks!!!

Hey! I recommend getting a set of discs- like a 3 or 5 pack. They are much more affordable that way. In general, all discs work!

What size cord you using how many strands

Des scoubidous en cordelette.😊

What do you mean when you say size 1 or 3 paracord? I am used to buying paracord based on what weight it can handle. Does the 1 or 3 mean 1 mm or 3mm?

@stevewargo4266

Google type 1 paracord, type 3 paracord, etc. if he said “size”, he misspoke.

?❓❔⁉️ ? Dónde compro esa herramienta ❓

Thanks for the easy to understand tutorial. I'm a little confused about the length ratio, tho. 3.5:1 ? That seems a bit extreme, especially since you mentioned in another reply that this braid has a hollow core. Where's all that material going? Are you certain you didn't mean 1.35:1 ? I'm asking because I found this video when I was looking for different/more interesting ways to braid speaker and headphone cables. 15m of cable for a one meter braid would be an obvious no-no for several reasons - and very unfortunate since I really like the elegant look of this pattern.

@protator

Ok, I just watched the your video about the 4 color variant and that cleared things up. 3.5:1 for the 4 cords, so 1.75:1 for each of the 8 individual strands. Still a bit high for my specific use case, but at least I was able to make sense of the numbers ^^.

Can you use more pieces of cord?

@brettolsson

I just tried this, adding a third pair, and got a 3-color spiral. I just had to space the pairs out somewhat evenly on the disc. Seems like you can extend this to 4 pairs, 5 pairs and beyond. Your limit is the number of slots in the disk. This is so cool, and amazingly efficient!
