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".

Smaller wrist? Larger wrist? We also have smaller 2.25" memory wire and larger oval 2.4" x 3.1" memory wire available. There's no change to the braiding. Just string fewer or more stone beads (there's plenty in the kit.).

Unfortunately, we don't have enough of the alternate sizes to include in every kit because memory wire is in short supply currently, but you can add a pack to your order for just $3. Click here to add a package of either smaller or larger memory wire. One package is enough for one bracelet. Two bracelets if you're an extremely precise cutter.

This kit and the included pattern are offered for sale for your personal use only. No commercial use of the Canyon Climber pattern is permitted. This pattern may not be copied, transmitted or taught without the express, written permission of Rebecca Ann Combs.
