Excellent value
Date:March 5, 2013
Pros: Size, Price, Ease of Use, Quality
"I fully agree with other reviewers who rate this item positively. The foam is thick, firm and sturdy, and very light and confortable to handle. If, like me, you like occasionally being able to read without reaching for your glasses, you will appreciate the easy to read labelling.
If you are starting out I suggest you use it in conjunction with Artbeads learning center instructions for Kumihimo braiding, as printed instructions are not included.
Quality and price are top notch."

Creation: Kumihimo bracelet
"I must confess that what attracted me to this Kumihimo disk was its price. Very affordable !
The disk is constructed from a dense foam that should hold up through years of braiding. It is as well made as my other, more expense, disks. I find that due to its larger size it is more comfortable for me to hold on to and makes working my braids easier. But this is just my own preference and may not suit others.
All in all I gave this product a full 5 star rating due to its construction, appearance and price."

"I not only bought the round, but also the square foam plate. It is easier then I thought and really like the look. There are endless possibilities when designing jewelry. Nobody can believe how I do it, but everyone is loving the necklaces and bracelets that I make."

"I was just a tad wary about this wheel when I because these ones are considerably less then the other brand sold. However I am very happy with this wheel. It is slightly thicker then the norm which just makes for a sturdier wheel."

"I love this little wonder! I fell in love with the countless possibilities of kumihimo and snagged this convenient portable disk immediately after restock. After toying around with some free patterns online and practicing with yarn I'm ready to break out the beads. The disk is constructed well, it's light weight but sturdy, the numbers are in large, clear print and the slots for braiding materials hold every thing firmly in place."
