Findings for Kumihimo Braids and Cords

Ready made clasps that work for kumihimo braids and cord ends are difficult to find. I often make my own, soldering wire and tubes...
The clasps offered below are all manufactured, usually each component is sold separately. For your convenience assembled sets are available.

1. Make a loose wrap with a finer thread (Nylon #69/C-Lon Micro Cord)
