I just wanted to say that I didn't find any problem with the larger thickness
of the coated wires. The threads wrap around the wire and are tensioned
tightly. The coated ones can add a different color, blend or contrast, to the
project. The size of the wire inside gives the strength to shape
As someone else said... no hitches on wire. You want to keep it as smooth as
possible. Large projects that need a long piece of wire require it to be wound
on a (preferably fat) bobbin and have some sort of hook to keep the wire from
unwinding.
Your brooch pieces might be similar to flower

Really pretty - but what a price. Hmm! Maybe I should go into selling lace
jewellery!

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.

Hi everyone - wire is being used a lot in basketry now -
perhaps checking out some of their sites would give other wire sources?
(or confirm those already mentioned).
Just a thought.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm not sure if the 100micron wire my dh has is
enamelled or not - I'll ask him tonight.
Also check where he purchased it, but as it's for electronic engineering I
would guess it came from an elecrtonics
supplier type place.
What I am really asking in a round about
Ah Jennifer!
Now we come to your true question! I have tatted with wire, which is quite
analogous to the button hole stitch, so (in spite of not having tried needle
lace in wire) my first guess is that you can successfully do so.
Wire teaches you that tensioning is about removing all

Lacers,
I will be in Stuttgart Germany this month. I was wondering if anyone
can tell me where to find lace or linens there. I read that the Zweigart
factory is in the area. Do they have an outlet store? Which brings to mind
that I need a metric conversion chart, I forgot last time.
Oh Dianna,
They are just too beautiful ! How clever you are !
Best wishes

I love the asymmetrical 'surprise' where the lace crown breaks, to flow
down
the side of the basket.
Well done.

Nice job Dianna. I know another lacemaker/basket maker that might take your idea and
run with it. She loves working in wire and she also makes beautiful baskets. I have
always enjoyed looking at the pine needle baskets when they are demonstrating how to
make them on tv but would have no idea
