English Title: Thimble Ring and Flower Temari
Released January 2009; intermediate to advanced. A combination of both Temari designs and how-tos along with yubinuki (thimble ring) designs and how-to. Since yubinuki designs are popular Temari obi designs, this book combines the best of both. About a third to half the book is devoted to Yubinuki instruction. Many of the Temari designs focus on applying yubinuki designs in woven and wrapped temari designs (but not stitching temari obi with yubinuki designs), and also Renzoku designs (the design travels through several or al quadrants of the mari).
