Canyon Climber is a kumihimo kit for all levels, but because you'll be braiding around a core, we strongly recommend that you have some previous beaded kumihimo experience before starting this kit. If this is your very first beaded kumihimo project, please review our Beaded Kumihimo Starter Guide before starting.
The Canyon Climber kit includes: detailed step-by-step written instructions, size 8 Japanese seed beads, Superlon braiding cord, TierraCast endcaps, 6mm stone beads (premium kits have 4mm/5mm turquoise chip beads instead), TierraCast spacer beads, 2.5" diameter silver-plated memory wire, big-eye needle, and binding thread.
Techniques used: kumihimo (all levels) and bead stringing (beginner)
You’ll need the following tools (not included) to complete the project: foam kumihimo disk (regular 1/2″ thickness), 8 weighted bobbins (~23g each), clip-on center weight (~45g), scissors, memory wire cutters (using your regular cutters can ruin the cutters), and round-nose pliers.
What type of stones are in each kit?
- "Sky Island" Blue Sky Mosaic Quartz (dyed)
- "Gifts of the Forest" Bronzite
- "Vermilion Cliffs" Red Snake Skin Jasper
Max finished length: 5 wrap memory wire bracelet. Memory wire fits a variety of wrist sizes. In our experience the 2.5" diameter memory wire fits wrists from 6" - 7".
