Kukeidai

Description:

The stand features a rectangular top 8x10 inches.

It is notched on two sides to stabilize widely spaced bobbins: 32 notches per side with a smooth center to support small adjustments needed for many of the moves in flat braiding.

Ideal for making wide, flat braids requiring many bobbins on the North/South sides (up to 20 each) and1-8 bobbins each the on East/West sides. Total capacity range: 24 – 56 bobbins.

Works well for Japanese, Peruvian, and Square Disc braids (including rick rack patterns and leno techniques).

Note: the higher end of the range requires long, narrow shaped bobbins; the lower end of the range uses standard Kumihimo bobbins.

Maple top; 24 inch long ¾“ birch legs, ¾” birch plywood base (11.5”x11.5”) Clear, natural finish. All notches and surfaces fine sanded.
