Child's Braiding and Knitting Star for Japanese Kumihimo

Welcome your child into the wonderful world of making and mending with this braiding and knitting star from Filges, Germany.

About Filges Wool and Craft: Filges is a family enterprise that began in 1985 with a small manual spinning mill. They then added their dying mill, using only plant colors, and then in 1995 became a Bioland, organic certified manufacturer of sheep wool. All wool using in Filges products comes exclusively from non-mulsed sheep raised in Germany, on certified organic farms. All the dyes are plant-based, and alum and tartar are used as mordents.
