## What is BraidOrbit?

Keep your colors, material estimate, and current move together while you make a common eight-cord round Kumihimo disk braid.

BraidOrbit is a focused, offline bench companion. Set up eight cord colors on a clear disk diagram, adjust the finished length and allowance, then follow the simple three-move rhythm without losing your place.

PLAN YOUR SETUP
• Choose a color for each of eight cords
• Start with Sunset, Tide, or Checker palettes
• Match numbered cord positions to the marked top of your disk
• Save separate projects for different braids

ESTIMATE MATERIAL
• Work in inches or centimeters and switch without changing the plan
• Adjust the cord multiplier and finishing allowance
• See the estimated cut length for each cord
• Review totals grouped by color

KEEP YOUR PLACE
• Follow lower-left up, upper-right down, then turn
• Highlight the current phase on the disk
• Save a checkpoint automatically after every move
• Undo the latest move or reset when you restart

MADE FOR THE WORKBENCH
• Add notes about cord, findings, or tension
• Duplicate a project to try another color setup
• Use on iPhone or iPad
• No account, ads, analytics, tracking, or internet connection

BraidOrbit covers the common round eight-cord disk workflow. It is not a bead-pattern designer, finished-braid preview, marudai guide, or universal Kumihimo pattern generator.

Material use varies with cord, beads, tension, and structure. The calculator is a starting estimate, not a guarantee. Make a short sample and adjust the multiplier before cutting valuable material.
