Re: [h-cost] Brim wire!
Thanks Sharon, thought of that and tried another solution. It’s not ideal either. However, JudithM is getting the 20 yd rolls back in next week, they tell me, so I’m in good shape now!

Re: [h-cost] Brim wire!
Evidently California Millinery Supply is under new management (I seem to remember a company with that name years ago, but this site says they are new.) Their website is minimal at this point, so I didn't see information about a minimum order. They encourage you to fax, call, or email them. They list wire in several gauges, both black and white, and both 60 yd and 3 yd quantities. http://www.californiamillinery.net/ Ann Wass -Original Message- From: Marjorie Wilser To: Historical Costume Sent: Fri, May 9, 2014 10:06 am Subject: Re: [h-cost] Brim wire!

Re: [h-cost] Brim wire!
You can also find wire in different weights at a hardware store. I've also used picture hanging wire. Again, real millinery wire, with the wrapping, is nicer, but in a pinch or a hurry, I've used what I can get locally.
