A question that has been on my mind - why is
kumihimo so much more popular
than tablet weaving? It's not
any more practical, is it? I have an idea
that it has to do with
equipment. With kumihimo, there is all that
beautiful wooden
equipment that can be sold, hence there is a profit
motive for
vendors to promote the craft.
Linda,
You may
have hit on something. I used to have a small handmade portable cardloom that
I used mainly for demonstrating (it was stolen) and I really miss it even
though I prefer to put "C" Clamps on a 2' x 4' board for most of my tablet
weaving. If someone can come
up with a really nice looking cardloom, we may be in business!
