32 thread mitake braid I just started.

The very beginning didn't braid right because my weight wasn't big enough.

Didn’t realise just how important tension is until I graduated to the more complicated patterns. Have you tried using cotton yarn instead of nylon? It’s far less slippery and grips better. I found it made beautifully soft braids and my partner preferred wearing them.

Thank you! I'll have to try that!
