Fingerloop braiding is an old technique of unknown origin found almost worldwide where threads are used paired as loops and isn't done on a loom. There is some evidence that rope may have been made as well, but the examples found have been silk threads and were used to lace up clothes or as decoration on purses and clothing. This technique is well suited to any age especially young people. For pre-teens and teens progress can be seen quickly and for younger children (approx, 4th grade up ) it is a good way to help with motor skills. In this class we will make a bracelet length piece using larger 'thread' for instruction purposes such as thin ribbon or waxed linen.
