Welcome your child into the wonderful world of making and mending with this braiding and knitting star from Filges, Germany. The use of a braider comes from Japan and is 1000 years old, a style of braiding known as Kumihimo (Kumi - braid and Himo - cord). The 8 slots in this braiding star allow you to weave up to 7 strands of wool. With it, your little one can create a strong seven-coloured braid in various patterns. 

 This felt braiding star is a craft item, not a toy. Not suitable for children under 3 years.

About Filges Wool and Craft: Filges is a family enterprise that began in 1985 with a small manual spinning mill. They then added their dying mill, using only plant colors, and then in 1995 became a Bioland, organic certified manufacturer of sheep wool. All wool using in Filges products comes exclusively from non-mulsed sheep raised in Germany, on certified organic farms. All the dyes are plant-based, and alum and tartar are used as mordents.
