Good job,,, I wonder what would happen if you boiled the cord before you braided with it? And I wonder what would happen if you boiled it after it was braided? I understand that the stretching is a function of the braid. But it would be a fun experiment. .. Thanks for sharing your videos and all the work that you put into them...

How do you finish off the center cord which sticks out of the braid? How do you keep it from sliding inside of the braid?

So if I have a 10mm core. And I braid 10mm cord around it. This will make a 20mm thick rope.? Aiming for a inch thick rope. But can't afford to buy. Great video 👍🏾👍🏾

Traditional kumihimo braiding on a marudai is done with weights. A centre weight on the braid, and also each strand being braided is wound onto a bobbin which is weighted, so as it is being braided it is effectively in its final configuration. At least when braiding thread bundles.
