EZ Bobs
 

Do you get in a tangle when braiding long threads? The answer is EZ Bob.

All you have to do is pull on the end for more thread!

Hamanaka Kumihino Braid Making Disk
 
 

I came across these super little braiding disks in Australia a couple of years ago.

Made from supple, compressed polystyrene, this simple disk is an excellent aid for braid making. And, you can use them anywhere - even on airplanes!

Slots on the disk hold the threads firmly, so there's no need for weights.
