Hamanaka Tube Berry 1

Tube Berry is an unusual shiny tape for making beautiful bags: from stylish everyday items to elegant evening accessories.

Tube Berry is a tape where gradation-dyed yarn is passed through a glossy vinyl chloride tube and crimped so as to be flat. You can pull it through the net, but also knit with it! Tube Berry ideally combines with Romale tape and allows to make beautiful eye-catching combinations.

To make a bag, you just need to pull the tape through the net. It is strong enough and at the same time thin, so it it is very easy to do. You can choose the net from the Hamanaka net assortment in the "Bag canvas" section. There are transparent, black and beige, as well as red, gold and silver nets that look great with the shiny Tube Berry. All nets with a eye size of 6 mm and more are suitable for it. Tube Berry width is 5 mm.

Also you will need Hamanaka double-sided tape to secure the ends - it is thin and transparent, so it is great for this, almost invisible.

Project examples made with Tube Berry and free Japanese patterns can be viewed here.

We also have Japanese books with patterns for Tube Berry.

One 30 m roll of Tube Berry is enough for medium size bag 26*19*8 cm (example). Consumption very much depends on the method of weaving and the number of weaves.
