The Tapestry/Bead Cuff Bracelet Kit was created twelve years ago for one of the projects for an online tapestry class. It has been a smashing success ever since. Every once in a while we change the kit slightly. We are pleased with our new edition which includes our latest silk product, Gima Silk Tape, as well as our traditional Mulberry silk yarn. We have also added some triangle beads and charms.
The Tapestry/Bead Cuff Bracelet is a tapestry and bead bracelet woven on a Mirrix Loom with a shedding device. Rows of beads are strung onto the weft and woven in the same manner as the yarn. It is a great project for all levels as you can make your bracelet as simple or complex as you want, weaving simple stripes or practicing more complex tapestry techniques.
This kit includes:
3 12-yard bobbins of hand-painted Mulberry Silk
3 12-yard bobbins of hand-painted Gima Silk
1 25-yard bobbin of Gold Silk
4 yards of railroad yarn -each strand a different color
10 grams of triangle beads
2 charms
10 grams each of 8/0 and 11/0 beads
2 1" cuffs
1 bobbin beading thread (colors may vary)
1 bobbin fine cord- 68 yards
1 tube of glue
Ultra-suede ½ sheet (colors may vary)
This kit comes with enough supplies to make two bracelets.
