Two double braids from the 17th C with a wonderful "unorthodox" loop exchange method that goes back to the 12th Century, if not further. This exchange move is so easy to do with REALLY cool results! It produces unusual loop braids that may be unique to Europe. Videos for my solo braider method, illustration for the traditional team braiding method.| Loop Braiding
Two alternative fingerloop braiding methods for making the 2,500-year-old, 15-loop fingerloop braid known as "HallTex 301." This braid artifact is one of the amazing textile finds from the famous Hallstatt Salt Mines in the Austrian Alps! 2 videos, one demoing a "Palms-up" method and the other a "Palms-down" method.| Loop Braiding
A tutorial for a non-traditional 12-loop braid with an unusual number of loop-transfers: Five! You might call it a Double-and-a-bit-more Braid. The video tutorial is for my solo-braider method. Also text instructions for an easier "odd" braid - the 7-loop Square-and-a-half braid of 3 loop transfers - for the left braider of a team making the larger 12-loop braid. (The smaller braid has some fun asymmetrical color-patterns of its own!)| Loop Braiding
