This episode we chat with Rodrick Owen about kumihimo and Peruvian braids.  If you’re not familiar with kumihimo, it’s a Japanese style of braiding that creates beautiful and strong braids.  The most common form of kumihimo is woven on a marudai, essentially a small round table with a hole in the center.
