July 28 - New Kit & DIY Tutorial for Kumihimo Bracelets with PIP Beads

This has been a labor of love as it evolved from a simple tutorial to four designs altogether with sophisticated bead placements. In the process I made countless trial bracelets, not counting all the aborted ones... I love these beads. They are amazing for kumihimo. I hope you will love them too!

This project requires no previous kumihimo experience. The tutorial is comprehensive and assumes no previous kumihimo knowledge. All these bracelets are made with the Pip Flower Pattern, Pips All Around, Half Round PIP Design, and Duo PIP Flower Design. Find out more about these projects. > Pip Kumihimo Bracelet or > Post with More Info and Large Photos

June 1 - New Additions...

Buttons - We just added a few metal buttons such as these elongated egg shaped ones with speckled antique finishes. They are very light for their sizes and come in three finished. These were found in an estate sale, so they are limited to what's on hand and they are of unknown origin, although they have all the marks of Italian metal buttons. > Buttons

Most of these colors are still available in the larger 136 yd spools for a limited time until they are sold out. Turquoise is only available in the 50 yd spools. > C-Lon Fine Weight Tex 135 Bead Cord

XX is the Mystery Color available temporarily until sold out. > C-Lon Micro Cord

 

May 10 - C-Lon Micro - 4 New Colors

Four new colors just arrived packaged in the new 100 yd spool, shown with an original 320 yd spool of Chocolate. From left to right, we have Silver, Peacock, Eggplant, and a new mystery color.

Somehow the factory sent us a new color. It was supposed to be Sepia, but even though it has the right code for Sepia on the box, Sepia it is not.

We welcome your suggestions. When compared to all the C-Lon browns, it is closest to Chocolate, but a lot lighter. Like Chocolate is has a lot of red. The closest hex code is #8d7473 or #8d7374, named "grayish red or reddish grey", but what's to be expected from internet engineers.

C-Lon Micro Cord New Colors

Name that color!
Name this color!

As to names... it looks like red cedar bark or a dusty chocolate rose, too red to be Taupe, not dark enough to be Beaver, Carob, Russet... a dusty reddish light brown, dusty taupe, rose brown, rosy taupe, chocolate mauve like the new popular hair color... Right now, it is still unnamed with just XX as its color name.

Rayon Satin

May 9 - New Colors of Rayon Satin Cord and Nylon Satin

Check all the new colors of Rayon Satin... We just got 11 new colors.

Main differences between Rayon and Nylon Satin:
- Rayon Satin has a finer texture than the Nylon Satin, but it also more subject to damage and harder to keep clean than Nylon Satin cord.
- Nylon Satin cord ends can be melted with the Thread Burner or Cord Zapper making it easier to finish pieces. The Rayon Satin ends need to be glued, they cannot be melted. 
- Rayon Satin can be washed by hand, but colors may bleed. Nylon Satin colors are more stable, but dye lots are not always even as nylon is harder to dye than rayon. 
- Rayon Satin diameter varies a bit more from roll to roll especially for the larger sizes. 
- As to sizes, they do not quite compare. The 1mm Nylon Satin is the thinnest. The Rayon Satin #2, the thickest. 

Diameter Sizes
> 1mm Nylon Satin ~ 1mm Ø

> Rayon Satin Size #0 ~ 1.2mm Ø
> Rayon Satin Size #1 ~ 1.6-1.8mm Ø

> 2mm Nylon Satin ~ 2mm Ø

> Rayon Satin Size #2 ~ 2-2.5mm Ø

Kumihimo Bracelet KitKumihimo Bracelet KitKumihimo Bracelet KitKumihimo Bracelet Kit

These kits are similar to the Copper River kits listed below, but instead of braiding with Rayon Boucle, I got a chance to play around with the 100% Nylon Ribbon. This ribbon braids beautifully, and it has a gorgeous sheen. There are other differences, but the pattern is similar, beads on the edges and top rib, with no beads right against the wrist, making this bracelet incredibly comfortable. > Kumihimo Bracelet Kits with Lily Petal Bead Edge
