Slings had great significance in many cultures, particularly in the Andes, and were often used as both prehistoric weapons and herding tools.

The book shows novice and experienced braiders how to make 50 designs, from 8 to 32 strands, on a braiding card or with a braiding stand and bobbins.

Learn step by step how to make an authentic Andean-style sling with braided cords and a tapestry-woven cradle.

A range of techniques useful for beginning, ending, and embellishing slings are included, and can enhance a wide variety of other items, like jewelry, garments, and accessories.

This book is a key resource for historians, ethnologists, textile artists, weapons experts, and others to learn the practical skills for understanding sling braids' structure.

Includes braiding card and plans to make core stand.
