You are purchasing 1 foam plate/disc with or without instructions.

The thickness of the braid you make whether its round or flat  is limited only by the hole in the centre of the plate, which is  16x37mm it would be easy to make it bigger as the plate is made of foam. I also think this is easier to use than the round disc as it has numbers 1-10 on one edge 11-20 on the other edge, large letters on one side and small on the other.

Instructions are by Anne Dilker, she designed this square kumihimo plate for the beadsmith, and has  written a book called braiding for beaders 2nd edition, which is nice and easy to understand, which I sell, her website is www.mosshollowpottery.com 

Most books cost me the same price to buy from the wholesaler as you can buy from  Amazon, so I dont stock many books I do have a few cds, even one on Kumihimo.

This is Anne showing you how to make an 8 warp braid on a round plate, as the square plate has corners its easier to recognise that you have turned it round. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21_uAC_Mxfw

This is Anne adding beads to the braid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utQVPP7ky2g

You may find it easier using our no tangle bobbins with this plate as you wrap the rattail or c-lon tex, hemp, silk, cotton, material, wire etc around the bobbin then let it down as you need it.
