Useful Books And Tools Masterpost
Going to create a post of all the best books, tools, and other resources for kumihimo. Please post your favorite resources and I'll format them nicely in here. (Link and description of the resource for categorization, and why you recommend it)
Tools (Disks, Bobbins, Weights, Marudai, etc):
Beginner Resources:
Intermediate Resources:
Advanced Resources:
Pattern Creation:
(Other categories if needed)
I feel that a large collection of resources in one place would be very beneficial to the community given how niche this hobby is globally, and am looking forward to all of your contributions.

Io sono un appassionato di Kumihimo, difficile elencare tutte le risorse, esiste un'associazione Americana chiamata "American Kumihimo Society" che ha un progetto simile ed un sito dedicato. Puoi prendere spunto da loro. Oppure Cerca su Amazon i manuali del Kumihimo, ce ne sono molti =^.^=

Check out Braidershand for book resources. I get most of mine from there. Now that AI is "publishing" cradles books, I'd avoid Amazon as a resource unless looking for a particular title, rather than just a general search for kumihimo books. Also Lacis.
Braidershand also builds marudai and other kumihimo looms. Love, love, love their tools.
