Hello All! At the 2014 IOLI convention in Sacramento, I attended Lauran
Sundin's wire lace class. One of the techniques she demonstrated in class
involved twisting wires together to make heavier cable. She used a cordless
drill at low speed. Today I wanted to combine two strands of 28 two
This also works well with a bobbin winder, attaching the ends of the
bobbins to a bobbin. When I don't have another pair of hands around I duck

If one needs to cord four 'threads' (strands of wire) why not hammer a
nail into a wooden fence post in the garden, loop the wire around the
nail and insert the four cut ends into the chuck of a hand drill? The
drill can be wound very easily and with complete control. This seems to

I don't believe it would have enough 'oomph' to twist up wire. A drop spindle
just has the momentum created by its own weight, which isn't much. I think you

Hello Everybody,
in my opinion it's not necessaire to use special bobbins for wire work.
I use my normal ones or simply my fingers nothing more and it works
perfect. And the wire doesn't get any little crinkles, you know wire
doesn't forget them.

Hi smart spiders!
Please help me if you can. I am about to start the Poinsettia Brooch from
Dianna Stevens. The directions for the amount of wire to add onto the bobbins

directions are as follows. Brooch base: make 1

with a total of 5 feet of 32 gauge wire. I would interpret the
divided to mean that some of the 5 feet of wire is on one bobbin,
