There are plenty of people doing non European personas the argument is "there was trade so Europe had contact." We even have some South American personas....
For those of us with a little time on our hands, could someone post the info on the swap. As this will be my first, I'd like to do a bit of research and...
... Well, I'm not sure about the koma, but they don't appear to be finished. The marudai I made is not finished. I just looked at the koma under 40X ...
I've been a lurker for some time, but I thought I'd chime in on this. I built a marudai for my wife and I last Christmas. In construction, I did not apply any...
OK - I'm stumped. You would think that if there was a dye problem it would also occur when washing a textile product embroidered with it. I have yet to...
Given that I'm completely blank on the technical side of this, couldn't it be that the dye is fiberreactive, and thus will also colour wood (being cellulose),...
Hi everyone! I just wanted to update everyone on the availability of space in the workshop being taught by Rodrick and Terry coming up on June 19th and 20th in...
Now this is entirely possible - didn't think of the natural oils in the woods used. My marudai and tama are of Maple which is a low oil, close grained wood....
Here's another thought, too, Todd - are you using any kind of lotion on your hands before your braid?Or, like me, do your hands sweat when you work? It could...

... The DMC floss I use is made in France too. And I belived I've washed a braid or two and not had any running of the colors. ... Well, I've got several...
... Well, the marudai I made was out of pine. The koma I believe are made from maple, though Janis would know for sure. The marudai I use mostly I believe is...
(sorry everybody, this is the only way I can contact this person) Mary, I'm sorry that I bumped your account. E-mail to you is bouncing, and yahoo won't send...
since no one else has stepped forward, i guess i'm the swap master (seconders? other volunteers?) either way, here's some basic swap info, which we can fine...

Pine oil is a solvent - if pine comes in contact with the threads it could cause a problem. David ... From: Todd Rich To: kumi2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday,...
I would be interested but not sure I have the skill to do something of this nature. I just started doing Kumihimo a few months ago and do not have access to...
Hi all, On the issue of DMC, I finally just had to say something. Why are you all braiding with embroidry floss? Admittedly, it comes in lots of colors, but...
Hi, I can vouch for using different fibers, coming form a strong weaving background but being a novice at kumihimo. I get tencel from my local yarn store; they...
Hi All, I think Carol may be on to something. How about a virtual swap? We set a topic and everyone braids ONE sample, which gets sent to the swapmeister. She...
Ah Carol, the fact the we all joined the discussion doesn't mean we all use the same threads, it's the discussion about the technicalities that was interesting...
It does depend on what you are using the braid for as well. Silk also will gray some, depending on the company that made it. I used the cotton DMC for ...
I would also be interested in a swap but I don't know a lot about the different braids. What is a non-standard cross section braids. I have a book on Kumihimo...
Wow! That's a great idea. I'm too newbie to consider making gobs of samples, but one with a write up would be doable. Julie ... Hi All, I think Carol may be...
Oh No! - I think I have started a new fashion trend. I gave a couple of my braids to my niece who proceeded to divide then into 1)hair ties and 2) rope belts...
Well David, I think the only solution is to teach them all to braid. If you showed them how to braid on a card, they could take them to school and spread the...
Is the swap list closed? If there is room, I'd like to come and play too. Shirley...

Carol, I am interested in the proposed swap - my participation may have to depend on the time scale and how it evolves (I might have to be one that 'pays' and...
