A toy loom allows for children to hold warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the threads. Resulting weaves can be collected and/or used for play. The toy loom also includes metallic beads, a premium metal charm, lots of clips and clasps, and different colored threads. The toy loom helps children learn different techniques to make a variety of textured and colorful bracelets and necklaces.

Disclosed is a braiding disk handle for holding a kumihimo braiding disk. The braiding disk handle includes a tubular grip having a proximal end, a distal end, and a chamber extending between and through the proximal and distal ends. The grip is configured and adapted to receive a length of yarn through the extent of the chamber. The handle further includes a hollow shank attached to the distal end of the grip such that the chamber of the grip is in communication with the hollow of the shank. The shank is configured and adapted to cooperatively and detachably mate with an opening of a braiding disk. The handle further includes a shoulder formed at the distal end of the grip adjacent and perpendicular to the shank. The shoulder is configured and adapted to support at least a portion of the braiding disk while the shank is mated with braiding disk.

A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. Elastic bands can be utilized to form such links in a desired manner. The example loom provides a device for holding elastic bands in place to enable the creation of a Brunnian linked article.

The present invention provides apparatus and a method for use in weaving elongate members together and most typically elongate members in the form of hair attached to the head of a person or a toy doll. The elongate members are provided in groups and the groups pass through passages in a weaving mechanism and along guide tubes which are located to the opposing side of the weaving mechanism from the item to which at least some of the elongate members are attached. Typically, relative movement of the weaving mechanism along the elongate members and the operation of the weaving mechanism cause the weave, such as in the form of plaiting, braiding or cornrowing to be formed.

An equine grooming device for maintaining a horse mane's braid has at least one pin and a limiter. The pin forms or receives a securing element. The securing element prevents movement of the pin in a direction opposite to a stitching direction. The limiter may include a retainer element. The securing element may be formed by deforming at least part of the pin. A method for use of an equine grooming device for maintaining a horse's braid is also disclosed.

The invention relates to a net, preferably a net for aquaculture, wherein the net comprises cords joined in a net mesh, wherein each cord comprises one or more yarns, the yarns having a tenacity of at least 0.6 N/tex and wherein the net has a mesh size of at least 8 mm, characterized in that the cords further comprise a polymeric resin, wherein the polymeric resin is a homopolymer or copolymer of ethylene and/or propylene, wherein the polymeric resin has a density as measured according to ISO1183 in the range from 860 to 970 kg/m3, a melting temperature in the range from 40 to 140 C. and a heat of fusion of at least 5 J/g. The invention further relates to a fishing net, a fish farming construction comprising said net, a fish farm, and a method for fish farming.
