Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A temari is a ball wound from thread and embroidered with a geometric pattern. It looks impossible to make by hand. It is not.The whole craft rests on one measurement. You measure once around your ball, and every other number follows from it: where the poles go, where the equator sits, how far apart the marks stand for a four, six, eight, ten or twelve-way division. This book works all of those out for you and prints them as tables. No geometry, no guesswork, and a check you can run before a single stitch goes in.What is inside- Twenty chapters in the order you need them, from building the core to hanging the finished ball- Twelve complete patterns, ordered from easiest to hardest, each with its own materials list, stitch order and finished size- Every division measurement for five ball sizes, ready to read off- A worked example that takes one ball through the whole process with all its figures filled in- Thread quantities for every pattern, a glossary and an indexWritten for adults who have never embroidered. Every term is explained where it first appears, no chapter assumes a skill the book has not already taught, and every project tells you how long it takes and how hard it is.You need a ball of scrap filling, fine thread to wrap it, embroidery thread, a long needle, pins and a strip of paper. Nothing else, and nothing sold specifically for this craft. This book was created using artificial intelligence tools. Its text, illustrations and cover artwork are AI-generated.
