Yes, Jean, we have the 26 & 28 gauge in our hobby shops too. But it is too heavy for wire lace. Great for other things however.

They sell 28 gauge coloured enamelled copper wire in copper, purple, red, green, blue and black intended for making wire coil beads for jewellery. I'm surprised that a UK craft shop stocks something that isn't readily available in US crafts shops because you're usually able to get all sorts of things that we can't. http://www.wires.co.uk<http://www.wires.co.uk/> sell a whole range of different wires - coloured enamelled copper, woven cloth mesh, knitted - as well as a spiral beadmaker and wire craft books, including 'Copper wire lace', and will supply by internet order via credit card anywhere in the world - see their Info page. Wires.co.uk quote thicknesses in mm, where Hobbycraft quote the gauge of the wire. Somewhere on the web, there's bound to be a conversion chart.
