Erin - This is a perfect kit, and the price is great. While you can certainly make your kumihimo disc for a lot less, having the booklet and the bobbins will make your learning curve a lot lower. The Hanamaka disc (which is round, instead of octogonal) costs more than than, and does not come with bobbins or English directions. I'd definitely go for it.

Melinda - Thanks - I hadn't seen that one. Still holding out hope for an interlibrary loan first, but I've bookmarked it for future reference.

If you figure in the time to research how to make a disc, and then actually make the disc, $12 sounds like a great way to go. Totally worth it. Maybe I'll ask santa to bring me that...

Glad you found that-I added it to my wish list too!
