This kumihimo kit creates a bracelet and a necklace with segments, intervals with fiber only and beads clusters with Panaché Ribbon.
Panaché Ribbon is hand dyed variegated rayon ribbon with a knitted tube structure. It has beautiful color shifts and sheen. It is soft against the skin, yet it is strong. It collapses onto itself making it possible to load beads with a needle right onto the ribbon. Laying the ribbon with color shifts side by side so the color in the braid shifts along the way at the same time creates a more interesting effect than random color shifts.
The ribbon in this kit is laid out, cut and tied together. The preliminary steps are already done, so you can start braiding right away. The bag with the tool kit makes it easy to take your project on the go! > More on Blog > Panaché Ribbon
