About The Beadsmith Kumi Lite Weight, 45gm (1.6oz), With

Make the process of creating kumihimo braids easier by using The Beadsmith Kumi Weight. Using the weight makes the process of creating kumihimo braids easier by keeping the braiding tension consistent. Attach the alligator clips to the end of your braid, providing pressure for a steady weave of your braid. The Lite weight is 45grams (1.6oz) and is great for 8 strands of 1mm cord or smaller (such as braiding a beaded necklace), or 16 strands of beading cord. The regular weight is for thicker (1.5mm) or a greater number of strands. Both sizes fit through the center of a braiding disk so you can create kumihimo and macrame bracelets and necklaces. It is the perfect accessory to keep in your jewelry craft box. They are not bulky like handmade weights and they grip thin braids and hang under the disk. You can use the regular size for first starting your piece and as the braid grows and gets heavier you can easily switch to the lighter size. Buy these for yourself or the jewelry maker in your life. Perfect for a professional or someone just getting started with kumihimo.
