Slinging.org Forum - 16-strand Peruvian Brading Instructions

Timothy Potter Senior Member Offline Posts: 340 Idaho Gender:	16-strand Peruvian Brading Instructions Mar 16^th, 2010 at 6:15pm http://www.jeanleader.co.uk/othercrafts/peruvianbraid.html I just found this site today. I haven't had time to look over the instructions to see how easy they are to understand, but they are the first 16-strand Peruvian braid instructions I've found online. -Timothy Potter

Now all we need is to put this on the sling construction thread (But probably make a section for "braids that apply to sling-making" first.)

Posts: 2504 Norway Gender:	Re: 16-strand Peruvian Brading Instructions Reply #4 - Mar 21^st, 2010 at 11:58am I think it is a rather good instruction. Today I finally made a small attempt at it, with some small piecec of yarn, and I think that within 1" of fumbling along I sort of began to get the gist of it. But I will need a lot of practice before I think of attempting a sling. timann

Considering the fact that this braid looks rather complicated, it is really relatively simple to learn. Well, that`s what I think Cheesy

.
The instruction really was a good find.

The picture shows the same piece as the last one, I continued to braid later. It is easy to see that I used the first inch to figure it out, later I came into the flow, and reversing the spiral was a walk in the park.

Well, so far, I think you are the first of the rank and file to have braided your way beyond the four strand round Cool

Search for Sling Braiding of the Andes. Here is the amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Sling-Braiding-Andes-Adele-Cahlander/dp/0937452033

Shows a lot of different patterns for 16 strand braids. Some of the longer patterns are 30 or more steps before repeating. Doesn't really get into making the slings as much as I would like. Mostly it is focused on the braiding of the cords. Has really good pics of very nice slings.

Kuggur, if you are braiding 8-strand square you are more than ready for this 16-strander. And for which is the simpler...I dont know much about that 8-strander beyond seeing an instruction for it, but maybe you will be surprised Wink

Okay, I spent a couple of minutes Cheesy

teaching myself 8-strand square braid, and it is much simpler, easier to learn, and faster to braid. But still...
timann
PS It`s not like I am a braid-learning superman which made me able to learn the 8-strand braid super fast, but the fact that I have already spent a long time learning and using the 4-strand round braid, which is basically the same.
