17th C. purse-string fingerloop braid: a French String with Open Edges
This video goes with my website tutorial on the archaic Unorthodox loop exchange method used in past eras in Europe for making certain multi-person fingerloop braids. On the website, there is more information, photos, and alternative color patterns. loopbraider.com/2020/05/25/bucks-horns-french-string-uo-loop-exchange/
This video shows a different way of exchanging loops from the method I taught in my earlier Double Braid tutorials. This 'unorthodox' loop exchange method creates a slightly wider braid with a more complicated over-under structure down the midline of the braid.
The "French String with Open Edges" is a 10-loop double braid that was traditionally made by two braiders working together. This braid type is often found as the handle and drawstring on precious 17th Century European purses in museum collections. The braid was also made in much earlier centuries in Europe, though fewer examples have survived to the present time. The name refers to the braid shape, not to any particular color pattern, but I am demoing it with 6 blue loops and 4 ecru loops.
I learned this Unorthodox loop exchange method from European Loop Braiding, part I by Noemi Speiser and Joy Boutrup, and then adapted it to my solo-braiding methods for making this type of two-person braid on my one set of hands, which is what I demo in this video.

    I learned how to do this in elementary school and my teacher taught me a great hack for maintaining tension - put a safety pin through knot at the top and pin the whole bundle to your own sock. I’ve always done it this way and never lost tension. It’s also the perfect distance from your arms to your ankle, and you can do it sitting on the couch watching a show. 🙂🤓
