Description

This listing is for a pair of himo ties in an odd style of weaving. Lots of bumps, no tasseled ends, and each tie is a different color - one is silver and one is pink. Don't they look great when tied together? Almost a crocheted effect to the weave...

Haori himo are the braided or woven cords that tie together at the front of a traditional haori jacket. They are hooked into the little loops on either side of the front collar that every haori has.

Typically six to seven inches long and about half an inch wide, but the variety of designs is quite amazing. Haori himo have many uses even if you don't have a haori jacket: bookmarks, zipper pulls, key chains, and more! (See video below for more examples!)

Haori himo - sometimes referred to as kumihimo - are created on a special loom with a macramé or braiding technique - see the video below on how this is done.
