A present for a loved one
This is the final version of the braid that was a present for my sister-in-law. Hubby and I thought the colours of the braid had the feel of coral about them. It is always a pleasure to make a present for someone who appreciates what you have spent time on.

beads braid braiding kit kumihimo Seven Wives
Here at ECHQ we are only a stone's throw from Norfolk and all those beautiful lavender fields. Our latest Seven Wives braided bracelet kit is inspired by that landscape and is called Lavender Garden. This is going to be a limited edition kit as our bead manufacturer has ceased making the beautiful floral beads. Don't forget to snap up the kit when you come to see us at the Makit Fair in Peterborough on the 8th May.
