Well, I can do that.<br /><br />I've already done a post on multilayer weaving actually, but it was rather mathy.<br /><br />Explaining advanced concepts like that is something I've been having an issue with as they're so easily described with mathematical language, but it seems about half to three quarters of humanity find mathy language really jarring and difficult, so I need to find another way.

I have small hands and 7cm may be the biggest I could handle, just by looking at how long 7cm is, not trying to weave. Depending also on the price and, oh, the dreadful shipping. How many to a set??
