Thank you for posting this video. Being able to hear the sounds of production against a soothing musical track was so appreciated. The use of light enhanced the viewing of the video, and the absence of human voices allowed me to be completely immersed in this world. Many thanks and blessings to you all.

😊Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the combination of production sounds and the soothing musical track-it’s wonderful to know it created an immersive experience for you.

Wonderful to see how kumihimo is produced commercially. A friend introduced me to kumihimo about 20 years ago. I can do very simple braids. Loved the whole process, dyeing, spinning...to finishing. Greetings from Finland

[@Making-Z]

Thank you so much for your lovely message and for sharing your connection to kumihimo! 😊 It's amazing that you've been creating simple braids for 20 years-what a wonderful way to appreciate this beautiful craft. We're so glad you enjoyed seeing the entire process, from dyeing to finishing. Sending warm greetings and heartfelt thanks all the way to Finland! 💚

I’ve been doing this on and off for like 15 years without knowing what this was and I’m freaking European!! how?! I bought a board which simulated the handheld version machine and saw once how you did it just went with it 😂😅

[@Making-Z]

😍Wow, that’s such an amazing story! It’s incredible that you’ve been doing this for so long without even knowing the name-it sounds like you were meant to discover Kumihimo! 😊 The fact that you just picked it up and went with it is truly impressive.

Handwork kumihimo is lovely and peaceful to watch, clattering machines are an unhappy contrast- no charm in mass production

[@Making-Z]

Thank you for your comment! Kumihimo has both handwoven and machine-woven styles. While handwork offers unique charm and peace, machines help preserve and share the craft with more people. We value both approaches!😊

[@kah4825]

I feel machines are moving so lovely, too. Old machines are really unique. I have some Kumihimo things that are not so expensive. I really appreciate these machines.

[@Making-Z]

@@kah4825 Thank you so much for your kind message! 😊 I’m glad you found the old kumihimo machines so lovely-they really do have a unique charm, don’t they?

Estoy muy emocionada de ver máquinas antiquísimas y su forma de teñido.
