Laramie Braid created on a Kumihimo disk

This is not a traditional Kumihimo braid. It was originally developed in 2004 by Shirley Berlin and Carol Goodwin from a 16 strand straw-plaiting braid. Shirley kindly gave permission for me to post this video from 2017 and provide credit where due.

Thank you. I was just thinking about creating a braid. I have never done a braid

[@JamieNorth]

@@juliekbrooks this isn't traditional Kumihimo - as mentioned it was developed by Shirley Berlin and Carol Goodman and has its origins in straw plaiting, but you use the same tools. It's fun to make. Enjoy! 😊
