Love the fact that with 7 strands we can use larger beads, very inspirational thanks Jamie

Thank you for explaining how to do 7 strand kumihimo. I saw a pattern on Etsy and didn't know how to do 7 strand kumihimo and what the benefits of using it. Since I have seen this tutorial now I know!

I'm glad you found it useful. Happy braiding!

Is this a hollow braid? None of the cords go across the centre hole so I think it might be?? it is so much more flexible and curvy than the 8 strand braid.

Thanks for the comment Suzen. No, it isn't hollow - there is very little room in the middle as with a hollow braid. But it really does allow for different shaped beads to work well together in the same braid. It is not a 'traditional' Kumihimo structure and has a straw plaiting origin.
